Yes, I understand this, but...

Again, I am in complete agreement. I was just wondering if it was
even considered to use the ‘{DATE}’ revision format as a parameter
to --pin-externals. Let’s say I ran a release build at last Monday
and today I decide to create a tag. If I know that my checkout (or
the svn update) finished at noon, then all externals that are not
already pegged must be from that time or earlier. So running the
command "svn cp —-pin-externals -r '{2016-08-29 12:00:00}'" should
"do the right thing" for most of the scenarios you can imagine.
