[This question should really be sent to users@subversion.tigris.org, the
Subversion user's list. dev@tortoisesvn.tigris.org is for questions
related to TortoiseSVN development.]

To answer your question: you either need to point your externals to
tags, or else explicit revisions. The latest version of the svn book
recommends the latter.
