Hi,

has there been any recent interest / activity in getting support for svn:externals? Digging in the archives [1,2,3] I found a couple of initiatives, but none seem to have ever been completed. Also, there are a couple of independent scripts floating around the web, that implement some special cases, but most don't work very well, e.g. because they only serve the pre-1.5 syntax for svn:externals.

Support for svn:externals would make my live so much simpler :-).

Cheers,
Nikolaus
