This message is shown if there are changes detected in an external
folder which repository uuid doesn't match the uuid of the 'main'
working copy (the item you right-clicked on to show the commit dialog).
A different uuid means it's a different repository, and therefore you
can't commit to two different repositories at once.

There's one situation where this message can show up even if the
externals are in the same repository: if the changed items in the
externals don't have an uuid assigned (yet). That means either your
working copy got hosed, or sometimes *added* folders don't have an uuid
assigned yet.
