There is no "Fetching external item into ..." message so it may not be
an svn:externals bug. Also, I think 'External' is located in the same
directory as 'Source', if that is the case then the commands we want
to see are

   $ svn ls -rHEAD .
   $ svn pl -v -rHEAD .
   $ svn st -u .
   $ ls . # or whatever is the Windows equivalent (dir?)
