Yes Yes Yesssss!
I didn't think I was unclear at all, but yes, that is what I want on
export.

No, I never said that the core code should be changed. In my last mail
I talked about a script that issues separate "svn exports":

If I had have intended this 'depends' property to be part of the core
functionality I would have called it the "svn:depends" property :)
I have been asking for confirmation that using a depends property,
along with a local 'svn' script in this way is OK to do. Thankyou,
you've answered that question. And I have also been trying to find out
if anyone thought this might cause any problem that I'd need to
consider?
Thanks again,
Brooke
