mkshadow
A shadow folder contains a reference copy of the current files in a repository. Create a shadow folder to provide read-only access to non-Surround SCM users or to provide a central location to build releases from. Files are automatically updated when changes are checked in to Surround SCM.
Before you add a shadow folder, you must create an empty directory that the shadow folder will be created in.
