That is exactly what you have to do when branching/tagging, and when
using an external repository. And that is what our docs recommend.
However there is another use case where you are using externals as a
convenience to reference some other part of your own repository, for
example a common library. In that case for trunk development you would
normally be working with the HEAD revision for both project and
externals. If you then want to go back in time perhaps to track down
when a bug was introduced, you would want both project and externals
to go back to the same earlier revision.
So maybe what the OP wants is an option to update any externals which
are in the same repository to be at the specified revision.
