Hi Stephan. For the same reasons you mentioned, we don't and probably won't support svn:externals. svn:externals is really a way for the client to fetch multiple things, but we can't look up external'd resources in the main repository and nothing generates the diffs. We'd have to do a lot of work just to make a diff that made sense, and that's not work I think anybody has planned.
