Oh wow - :( has anyone brought up this point to both development teams? Wasn't expecting this answer at all, went through alot of stuff to get the externals working in my projects, all of which use nearly the same files, very disappointing... would hate to have to export the design tree and then check-in everything in again (in different area) - to do a true "tag" operation

Ok um so this script would allow me to "pin down" a external for a 'tag' operation is that right? um - does anyone know if there is a way to run this as a hook through the windows gui? Is there a was to replace the whole existing 'svn copy' command on the server with this new version?
