Thanks. I will consider that, provided I can get some downtime to
perform a dump/rewrite/load cycle, probably at the same time upgrade
server to 1.9.x.

The main problem right now is people trying to checkout/update a path
with a invalid external doesn't wait long enough to get the error.
Also TortoiseSVN repository browser hangs when trying to browse to a
folder with an invalid external (probably also for about 5 minutes,
hasn't checked).
Seems like a bug to me.
