I haven't checked in detail, but there are a couple of known issues around externals and depth behavior, so perhaps it's related to one of these: - http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3311 (externals are not created unless depth=infinity) - http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3216 (externals with --depth) - http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4381 (Update of sparse WC fails at externals definitions) -- Johan
