could you elaborate on why you now find that svn:externals are a not-so-good idea?

Because what if someone wants to make a branch out of all of the stuff in pd/externals ... then pd/externals/gridflow won't be branched, and that person won't be able to patch it. Well, there are already branches like that, and the same applies to tags. I thought that this is what Hans wanted me to understand but he didn't explain it. In any case, this is what I eventually understood from his original comment on svn:externals.
