Hi Sascha, basically you are right, but i have to disagree considering the usage of a different SCM as exotic... There are numerous systems out there, and in our case it proved quite advantagous to be able to version also the patches; Because after you update the externals, you can track your patches and even recreate them trough the SCM, in our case svn, in which mitk (together with its own externals) again is just an external... One of the benefits is that our team just has one SCM in use, not several (for the different projects that could be pulled in). Versioning the whole thing under the watch of one SCM is pretty much boosting homogenity within the project. But i digress.. I personally think one should avoid awaiting a certain SCM to be used as a project foundation. Sure, we cannot pull in the software version, but that can be written down manually when the sources get synced. On the other hand, just using svn should not mean that the build aborts with an error.
