My understanding of committing w/ externals, is that the modifications to the externals are committed separately (or even excluded) from the main commit. This would certainly be the case for externals pointing to a separate repository, and may be the case . I just did a quick test (with both intra- and inter-repository external definitions), and SVN does not seem to descend into the externals for a commit. The externals directory has to be explicitly committed, which makes it no different from a normal working copy. Cheers,
