Other people have also complained about this, so if there isn't something
already in the issues database, maybe you could file a feature request. But
don't expect it to get fixed until probably well after version 1.0.

I guess I'm not sure what this means, so I don't know if this is what you're
asking, but you should be able to set multiple levels of svn:externals, such
as:

$ svn pedit svn:externals .
foo http://server/trunk/foo
foo/bar http://server/branch/xxx/foo/bar

Now, it might not work if foo/bar/ already exists (I haven't tested either
way), but maybe it should (hint hint, another feature request).
