Look for --ignore-externals or --include-externals options in the output of 'svn help SUBCOMMAND', where SUBCOMMAND is whichever svn command you're trying to use. Some subcommands recurse into externals by default, and some don't. The decision about which should be the default usually involves tradeoffs between several use cases so there is no single rule for this. > I don't seem to be able to find any documentation about the it. > Either there is none, or my seach skills are lacking badly. There is some information in the book about this at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html And of course in 'svn help'.
