Thanks :)

Yep, true, but that does not reduce the steps required. I was thinking
of Import+svn:externals in one step to reduce the steps needed from
8/5 to 1 :)

Sure, it is a common requirement, if you have a project for example
that consists of Windows part and some handheld part, it'll be written
in different IDEs and therefore - have different excludes.
However I'm not speaking of this as a requirement, but as a feature to
reduce the time required for a new user or when importing projects to
the svn. In the situation above one way is to add the handheld part
and the windows part in 2 imports, each with the proper excludes set.
But I completely understand that there will be cases that this feature
will not apply... fine... it can always be done as it is now...
I have come to that idea looking at mine projects and some other
colleagues - obviously the common case is to have project-development
environment-excludes related, so making it easy for the common case (even
if there is only 1 edit box and checkbox in the Import UI, and the
user to make the lists in notepad) will be of a great help.

Will do
