I'm having a problem with svn:externals, but it seems to be the opposite of
the above discussion. The user above is complaining that he is getting a
warning about 'mods in external folders' when he shouldn't. I am not
getting any warning when I think I should. i.e. when committing from a
parent directory that has externals, whose content I've modified, I see the
commit dialog box show these as modified files just like any that may be in
the parent directory. Worse yet, it looks as if I can commit these files
from the dialog. 'svn status' shows:

$ svn status testrepowc/
X testrepowc/test2/tst

Performing status on external item at 'testrepowc/test2/tst'
M testrepowc/test2/tst/Readme.txt

But, the commit dialog for TSVN doesn't give me any indication it's an
external, and it appears that I can commit it right from the parent
directory (testrepowc).. Though the subsequent output of the commit command
shows that it isn't commited (as expected). A few times this has caused me
to enter erroneous log messages since the files modified in externals aren't
committed, my log message doesn't correctly describe what is actually
committed.

I'm using TSVN nightly build 1949. I wonder if the fix in >=1941 caused a
different problem? I'd like to be able to get this warning about
modifications in external folders.

Thanks,

Scott
