Don't use "-rREV URL" (an operative revision) in an externals definition. Do use "URL@REV" (a peg revision). I recommend you use a (peg) revision in every external you define. I don't consider this more work; I consider it an absolute necessity to unambiguously indicate what resource you're intending to obtain. > Is there a way to search for all instances of an externally ref file in the > entire repo? I think a "where used" type function is what im looking for. I don't think so.
