No, and what is worse svn does not fail, it simply ignores any changes in svn:externals. Unless you only ever plan to change docs in a single translation, I don't recommend using the svn:externals modules. However, for those people who are exclusively documenting in 1 language, and never touch the source code they're documenting it is a great system. For everyone else, use a sparse checkout. I put in a small amount of effort last week to make phd work, and as long as you aren't adding in images, it works fine (phd needs a small change to allow it to find images in a sparse checkout, which I have not and will not investigate since I don't care about images :).
