22 for my test case. I include my different library source routines
into my projects as externals.

I am not sure of the best way to do this. I have exported the
svn:externals properties for both the original trunk,
'trunk.svnprops', and the checked out working copy of the tag,
'test1.svnprops'. Should I just send these two files using the Files
'upload new file"?
What I do not understand, however, is why the tagged WC even has
svn:externals set in the properties.
It has the actual local copies and does not need the externals.
By the way, I am not positive, but I believe that I did the tag
starting with a local WC.
Thanks,
