I doubt that this is easy. Otherwise, Eric would have done it a long time ago.

The main concern I have is to get the semantics right: AFAICT svn:externals has _no notion_ of "what is current". It just _always_ fetches the HEAD. Even if you check out an ancient revision in the "superproject".

Ciao, Dscho
