Not sure, but this sounds similar to the feature request made here: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2012-12/0037.shtml which resulted in this issue being filed: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4286 (Relative Revision Peg On Relative Path Externals) (no time to study this question in more detail, but maybe this small bit of cross-link information might help) -- Johan
