Can scons be used to automatically update your working copy?

Bit of confusion. It looks like SCons can be used to automatically get things from the repository if they're not开发者_高级运维 present in your working copy, but maybe not? The documentation is conflicting at best. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

This is a similar question regarding Subversion checkouts. The answer is that SCons used to support this, but the developers deprecated it in more recent versions.

An alternative approach is to use a network mounted drive together with SCons' Repository feature. This is more like Make's VPATH feature than a source code repository like CVS or Subversion though.
