Ok, so you're right.
But still: what's the harm in specifying the op rev as well? Id doesn't
have to look pretty, it only has to work correctly.
And adding code to prettify the externals string (which users won't pay
attention to anyway since the editing is done with the prop dialog)
would just add the risk of new bugs.
