Dear Daniel,
thank you for the answer.
No, there are no PEG-revisions in the externals. I don't want them. I
have two use-cases, where SVN is apparently not the solution:
R1) always have the head in externals (normal developping mode)
R2) be able to check-out an exact version, as it was checked out with a
distinct version later on (mode to get again, what was true before for
quality/archiving/documentation purposes.
The advice "use a versioned external" does not help, as this contradicts
R1). Tagging a version works for externals, but not for externals on
externals.
For me, it is hard to understand that this is wanted like that. For me,
a revision system should have the capability to checkpoint. But it has
not. I can understand, that multiple repositories is another story. But
the power of SVN is, to have one exact revision number which gives
everything. And it is sad, that this great tool is not usable for externals.
Thank you again,
Harald
