The recent hassle with Joni in externals has shown that svn:externals
are just not going to be usable for us. They break our ability to roll
back to a previous release, since externals do not by default lock to a
specific revision. They introduce fragility into the codebase since we
can't depend on an external resource to not change. And they don't work
with a number of tools, including some IDEs and CI servers.
Would you be willing to blog this? I've been involved with so many
projects where they had to learn about svn:externals the hard way; part
of the problem is that there haven't been any good articles on the web
that I could point to in order to support my case against them.
I certainly could...or I could just give you permission to reproduce it
in a blog post of your own (which I do).
