Oh! I think this is pretty bad. It really flies in the face of all test-before-you-commit practices. :-(
If this change goes through I think I'll be seeing a lot more of broken commits, where externals are involved...

Is there any way we can improve this on the TSVN-side? Either by making an update always honor the current WC state of all svn:externals properties (my preference), or by adding a checkbox to the edit svn:externals dialog that does the update automatically if the external is changed (hopefully default-checked..).
