Hi all

I know this isn’t really a Rails related question, I’m sorry, but it’s  
just that there’s probably somebody here who knows an answer to my  
question without me having to explain it too exhaustively. 😉

Well, I have several plugins in my vendor/plugins directory, of which  
some are automatically updated vis Subversion when updating the whole  
app. But some are not. So how can I change them to also automatically  
update, and how do I ensure that newly installed plugins will be updated  
in future, too?

Thanks for help 🙂  
Josh

PS: I’m running OS X with command line SVN 1.4.4 installed.
