As I recall, this is working correctly. One of our users submitted a
patch for us about a year ago. The issue is that you are doing a
"multi-level" folder structure for the externals. "data/dicts". The data
folder will show as unversioned, but I recall that the subfolders all
appear correctly.

Personally, I would recommend just adding a folder called data to your
main project, and then add the svn:externals property to that folder. That
would work more smoothly.

externals definitely works, but defining it the way you are doing is a
more difficult use case. As I recall, Subversion does not even create a
".svn" folder in the data folder in that example. Could be wrong about
that, I am just working from memory.

I know some of our users are doing the same thing as you, so maybe they
will chime in.
