[Subclipse-users] feature request, account for externals more than 1 level deep

If I have an external definition that outputs to a directory deeper than
the one that the external is defined on eg.

current_dir/subdir http://svn/trunk/myexternal

Then the /subdir folder is shown in subclipse as unversioned, and
appears in commit dialogs as unversioned also. With a large number of
externals, this can make the commit dialog noisy when you have to go
through and determine which items are actually unversioned and which
aren't every time. It also makes the 'compute deep outgoing state' less
useful since a lot of folders will show up as having changes when in
fact they are externals.

I've mentioned this on the user group before so I understand that the
issue is really that 'svn status' sees these deep externals as
unversioned also, but subclipse does other tweaks to get around
difficulties in svn commands, and this seems like a handy one to me.

Cheers
Tom
