Another thing I regularly do is to make my externals point to tags of the
external thing, rather than the trunk of the external thing. Since by
convention tags are never changed, I'm then unlikely to get a wrong version.
This doesn't guard against the target of the external being moved in the
repo, though. Only an "@nnnnn"-style revision (peg revision) can cope with
that.
