I would naturally assume that 'svn ls' behaves the same as 'svn export' in these situations. - externals defined outside the subtree which is being listed don't get processed. - externals which point to other repositories get listed from those repositories. - infinite recursion runs infinitely. :-) That's not ideal, I know, but it is consistent with what happens today, if I'm not mistaken. Any improvements we can make here for export/checkout/ update/etc. would likely help the list case, too. -- C.
