Nonetheless, the externals are only a reference to a repository. I would
imagine that it is the same, logically, as the strings in the trac.ini
that define any repository.  Except that they come from an SVN property
rather than a trac.ini file.

Of course, my externals are all at the 'top level' in a repository. And
that need not be the case, leading to all kinds of issues.

Still, externals do not work for me. Listing each as a repository in the
multirepos Trac does work. So, in the long run, I am happy. But, still
confused about why externals do not work for me.
