The purpose of the notify_external_start/end booleans isn't clear at first
sight. The docstring doesn't explain why these flags are necessary.
Later in the patch, in a code comment you explain that you did this to
more easily support XML listing mode. Maybe mention this here, too?

Please call this 'pool' parameter scratch_pool.

I'd suggest using the following names instead, for clarity:

  svn_client_list_func_t list_func1;
  void *list_func1_baton;

Again, this is a scratch pool so it should be called scratch_pool.

Perhaps avoid having two iterpools in the same function by moving the
inner loop which uses the second iterpool into a separate helper function?

So I mean instead of this inner loop, have a helper function, such as:

static svn_error_t *
list_external_items(apr_array_header_t *items,
                    ...,
                    apr_pool_t *scratch_pool);

and call it here like this:

         SVN_ERR(list_external_items(items, ..., iterpool));

The list_external_items() function would contain this loop and
would be free to reuse the name 'iterpool' instead of sub_iterpool.

Looks like you're accidentally not using the sub_iterpool here ;)
A helper function would avoid this kind of problem.

Please format the above two lines as a single line:

             SVN_ERR(wrap_external_error(ctx, item->target_dir,

Again, wrong iterpool?

Please don't ever put assignments into 'if' statements.
Many programmers will expect == instead of = within if (...) and will
always double-check every occurance of =, because mistyping the ==
operator as = is a common C programmming error. The code you wrote
isn't wrong, it's just bad style.

I'd suggest to write this code as follows, for clarity:

  if (prop_hash)
    prop_val = apr_hash_get(prop_hash, SVN_PROP_EXTERNALS,
                            APR_HASH_KEY_STRING);
  else
    prop_val = NULL;

> + }

You never call apr_hash_make() within this function so there is no point
in passing an apr_hash_t ** into it.

The caller creates the externals hash table. So the caller can pass the
externals hash table as apr_hash_t *, not apr_hash_t **.

You can get rid of the boolean include_externals parameter which is
implied anyway by a non-NULL externals hash passed by the caller:
  externals == NULL means 'don't list externals'
  externals != NULL means 'add externals to the hash if any'

So with my above idea, you'd initialise externals like this:

  apr_hash_t *externals;
  
  if (include_externals)
    externals = apr_hash_make(pool);
  else
    externals = NULL;

If include_externals is TRUE, then externals is never NULL, so you can
write the above line as:

     if (include_externals && apr_hash_count(externals))

You should probably make the svn_client_list_func2_t API promise that
external_parent_url and external_target must either both be non-NULL
or both be NULL. So that the following assert won't trigger:

  SVN_ERR_ASSERT((external_parent_url && external_target) ||
                 (external_parent_url == NULL && external_target == NULL));

It seems this is listing one external target, not many.
So the message you are printing is misleading because it says "Externals"
rather than "External", even if only one external target is defined.

You also forgot to mark the "Externals on..." message for translation
with the _() macro.

When returning directly with a function call that returns svn_error_t *,
never write 'return func()'. You should either write
  'return svn_error_trace(func());'
or use 'SVN_ERR(func());' followed by 'return SVN_NO_ERROR;' on the next line.

So taking all that into account, I would suggest something like:

    if (notify_external_start)
      {
        SVN_ERR(svn_cmdline_printf(pool,
                                   _("Listing external '%s' defined on '%s':\n"),
                                    external_target,
                                    external_parent_url));
        return SVN_NO_ERROR;
      }

Looks good to me otherwise, thanks!
