I think so, but it doesn't *have* to external o project A, right?
For instance, using the homedir example, I could have a repository
for my home directory:

        /path/to/repos/pll

Then within the "project" pll, I could have sub dirs:

                        /bin
                        /etc
                        /.emacs
                        /Mail

I could then apply an svn:externals tag to each one I could then
checkout just my ~/bin directory or just my ~/etc directory ?

I think I'm getting it. I read the CVS modules section, and that
seemed pretty straightforward. So, is there an equivalent of a CVS
modules file, or, do I use 'svn propset' to manage the "svn:externals'
properties of a repository?

Thanks,
