Thanks - I read that also, and it works.

But it kind of ruins the concept. The development team wants to be
able to click the top folder and do a 'Commit' of all the changes
they've done, without sifting through all the subfolders, figuring out
which ones of those have an 'svn:externals' property, and committing
them separately. In other words, the same ease as when using the
'Update' command on a top folder and updating all the externals also.

If the commit can't rescursively commit 'svn:externals' folders, what
advantage does it have over a simple script that checks out a bunch of
different paths?..
