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? -- Shawn.
