Egad... I have found out the hard way that externals ARE commited if they
are in the same repository...
I have also managed to get the url working by properly encoding it with %20.
The only problem is that I haven't been able to get the relative
subdirectory to work with a space in it.
How do you deal with the spaces in the relative path name? Do I have to
revert to short DOS names?

"A A" svn://...../A%20A/
Anyway, going into a separate reporsitory is not really an option, it does
not make sense... Is there a way of making the external reference remain
local on the user's machine and not be propagated to the server.
Is there a way of using keywords in the external url? So that I could
somehow qualify it per user?
If that won't work I'd have to go the template route... :-(
Any other ideas would be welcomed! Have I finally found somethinging wanting
in SVN?
