I meant to add as well that this is absolutely NOT the thing that you want to be tracked. There are any number of times while using externals that I reorganised a directory only to have to change the svn:externals in the parent. That change is then tracked, so if you check out an earlier version not only do you not get a particular revision you also don't get the right URL, so subverion doesn't even fetch the current version.
