I have just started to use the svn:externals keyword.

I am checking out a svn folder to Windows desktop, but have set the 
svn:externals property on this folder to check out a lib at C:/lib:

svn:externals <repo-path-for-lib> C:/lib

The lib is a svn repository containing only binary files and no folders.

When I check out/update (the folder with the property set) and the lib is not 
present, everything gets checked out as expected but get the following error:

External failed: C:\lib
Error: In file
Error:  
'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.7.2\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\wc_db.c'
Error:  line 2890: assertion failed (svn_dirent_is_ancestor(wcroot->abspath,
Error:  local_abspath))
