Let's say you check out a working copy of /project1 to
d:\dev\project1
Now, select the folder d:\dev\project1, right-click and choose
"properties" from the context menu (_not_ in the TSVN submenu but the
one from explorer). Then go to the Subversion tab.
There, you can set properties. Select the "svn:externals" property from
the combobox. Now if you move your mousepointer over either the combobox
or the edit box below, a tooltip will show up where you can see how the
svn:externals property should be set. Set it for example to
externallibrary http://repository.com/myexternals
and then press the "Set" button. Now the property is set. If you update
now, you will get the following
d:\dev\project1
d:\dev\project1\externallibrary
To set several externals in the same folder, just separate the them with
newlines in the property.
