Thanks for the reminder, tidying that up is on my todo list.

In fact both methods will work. The first is the original method and
still works. The second was added in 1.5 when relative externals were
added, and it provides more flexibility. I think I will document only
the second method and refer users to the subversion book for the older
method.
