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.

> Add SVN --pin-externals option to copy command in Tag operations
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SCM-805
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-805
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-scm-provider-svn
> Affects Versions: 1.9.5
> Environment: SVN 1.9+
> Reporter: Eduardo Hernández Guerra
> Priority: Major
> Labels: externals, svn, tag
> Fix For: waiting-for-feedback
>
>
> Starting from version 1.9, SVN client now supports the --pin-externals option
> for the copy command, which is to be used when tagging.
> I believe this should be implemented by default in SVN tag operations, and it
> optionally could be disabled via a parameter.
