What's the idea?
External means Switched
=======================
Well, not quite! But at the WC layer they have a lot in common. Let's
take advantage of it.
In both cases:
* An 'external' or 'switched' WC node is a file or a directory (tree).
* An 'external' or 'switched' WC node is an immediate child of a
versioned WC directory. [3]
Don't forget that an external does not necessarily have a versioned WC
dir as its immediate parent:
svn:externals
http://server.com/repo/trunk subdir/extdir
in that case, 'subdir' would be the immediate parent of the external,
but it's not versioned.
