Review comment:
What about the following scenario:
You create a branch for a release version to be able to do special release
hotfixes. The externals refer to a different project's trunk that is developed
/ restructured / whatever in a way that is incompatible with your actual
release.
Without pinned externals, your branch won't work anymore.
In that case, yes I think it's useful / necessary to be able to pin
externals even in branches.
