Ok, even after reading that sentence three times, I don't quite
understand it.
The only thing I can tell you is that the revision graph doesn't show
externals (and never will). That's because if you get the log messages,
you don't get the log messages from externals. We would have to fetch
them separately - but an external project is per definition 'external',
i.e. completely independent and would require an independent graph.

What does merge tracking have to do with collapsible nodes?
Merge tracking is a completely different issue. There's a whole document
outlining possible ways to do it in the Subversion repository. But when
you read it, you'll see that there are still some unresolved issues so
it isn't implemented yet.
