Why do you not use svn:externals to get this? I assume that every

I have to tell you that Stefan is right. You send a mail to the
subversion user mailing list there this topic isn't discussed. You got
some answers and then you forward the message to this list without even
correcting the spelling of "tortise" to "Tortoise".
Maybe you could have even added that you already asked on the subversion
user list, but did not understand their answers.
You have to understand that some people are getting angry because you
are not trying to solve your problem. You just claim the devs to fix it.
The use of software you have not paid for is a privilege, not a right.
