Before looking at the details some questions about the issue space: How do you handle externals that are stored in svn:externals many directory levels up? (Or even defined from above the current external) How do you handle externals between multiple repositories? How do you avoid infinite recursion (when an svn:external directly or indirectly includes its parent)? I'm not sure if there is a good and/or complete implementation possible for this 'problem'/'issue'? [What limits should we expect from an implementation?] Thanks for asking on the list before filling in the details. Bert
