Did we discuss at some stage having an option to commit externals, and
possibly to do it atomically if it is in the same repository? See below
too.

Took me a while to work out what you meant here. The tag doesn't change,
but it points to something external which is not itself tagged. Maybe we
should scan for externals when creating a tag and warn about that. Not
sure that we can do anything about it though.

Have they? If you commit a WC containing externals, TSVN tells you that
they have to be committed separately. Conversely, updates always update
the externals too.

There might be scope for a new option (did I say that word?) for
committing externals:

Commit externals:
( ) Always
(*) Ask me
( ) Never

You can used nested WCs, and they operate independently (although the
overlay status still propagates upwards).

If that is in the FAQ, tell me where and I will delete it straight away.
You should _never_ hack the entries file.
