I am on a development team with some members who have accidentally 
committed changes to svn:externals. Most of our svn:externals are in the 
same repo (different projects in a large repo).

I would like to request a feature to visually distinguish those 
svn:externals, and to disable commits to them in the TSVN commit dialog 
box. We rarely (if ever!) want to commit svn:externals changes. In other 
words, if project A has an svn:externals to project B, then correct way to 
do this in our team is to check out project B separately, make the changes 
there, and then update the svn:externals in project A to point to the new 
version of B. (I understand the convenience factor for some developers, but 
we would rather be explicit about committing separately to separate 
projects.)

There *is* a clear visual distinction for files in *other *repositories:

but not for the same repo. I don't like the existing "Show externals from 
different repositories" checkbox behavior; I want to see if there are 
changes in svn:externals, but I do not want to modify them as part of the 
commit.
