externals program, way to do svn:externals-like subproject management without git-submodule

["Miles Georgi" <azimux@gmail.com>]

I recently wrote a program called externals to make it more simple for
me to manage/deploy subprojects in my ruby on rails apps.  The problem
was that my projects had a bunch of subprojects, some of which were in
svn some in git, and when it came to deploying/managing these
subprojects it was kind of a pain in the neck.  Also, I wasn't fully
satisfied with git-submodule.  I'm assuming that several people on
this list prefer the git-submodule workflow over svn:externals, but
for me, I find myself performing a lot of extra steps that were
unnecessary when working with svn:externals.  I've found the code I
wrote to be really useful so I cleaned it up a bit and released it to
the public as the externals project.  It provides an SCM agnostic way
of managing subprojects with an svn:externals-like workflow.

I posted this on the rails list a week ago (though it can certainly be
used in non-rails applications (it does require ruby to be installed,
and is best installed via rubygems))   I didn't get any feedback at
all which was kind of dissapointing.  I decided to mention it here to
see if I can get any feedback.

I have a tutorial demonstrating how to use ext here:

Any feedback is greatly appreciated
