I am trying to add an svn:externals definition to a working copy. I set the property on a directory and ran svn update on that directory, but nothing is fetched.
I found this article: http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2008/02/20/svnexternals-for-noobs/ However, from other documentation it's unclear to me if a commit is really necessary for svn:external to work. Of course, I don't want to commit an untested external definition. I am using TortoiseSVN 1.6.15 built with Subversion 1.6.16.
