As far as I understood, PEG revision is for disambiguating the situation
when a resource has been removed but in a later revision another
resource appears with the same name. In thos case you can use the PEG
revision to help out SVN to decide which one do you speak about: the
later or the original one. But in this case no such disambiguation is
needed.
Am I wrong? If yes, than it shoud worth to mention it in the
documentation that we should prefer the peg format in svn:externals.
