Actually that is an interesting point that Chris makes.  Isn't the
svn:externals property revision controlled on the parent directory?
So each change to it is actually recorded in the revision history
of the parent project.  And if every svn:externals URL included the
exact version of the other project to include, aren't svn:externals
then more-or-less like the subproject link support, except they
also include the URL?
