Hello

I have a set of 'common files' used between (at present) 4 projects, and 
checked out via externals in each project.

When a new revision of the common code is being readied, I need to go round the 
4 projects, updating the common code and checking correct operation. This leads 
to a lot of commits and updates.

I could simplify this by having one set of common code, and creating 
'junctions' (symbolic links) to connect the normal experiences in.

Most tools are OK, but subversion doesn't like it. Update for example complains:
External        D:\MNewsome\WkSp\TetrodeMkII\FreeRTOS
External failed D:\MNewsome\WkSp\TetrodeMkII\FreeRTOS
Error           'D:\MNewsome\WkSp\TetrodeMkII\FreeRTOS' already exists and is 
not a directory

Also subWCrev returns '0'  for all the keywords I use ($WCREV$, $WCDATE$, 
$WCNOW$), and the null string for others ($WCURL$).

Is this expected? Or do I have some other problem?
