Hi Roman, What is your svn:externals value? Using TortoiseSVN (or any other client I've tested), the following syntax pins the externals version as expected: http://example.com/svn/foo/bar@99 foobar Changes to the "bar" directory (in the repository) after version 99 are not sent to the local "foobar" directory when I update it.
