I want that too! Actually, I would be happy with being able to give revision numbers human-readable aliases. Then an external could still be something like: testing -r zope.testing-0.2 svn://svn.zope.org/../zope/testing zope.testing-0.2 would be an alias for, say, 49234. Of course, this also requires that svn was not broken with externals like it is now.
