Me too. They are defined using the ^../ notation.

I used to see the changes, too, but was never (at least in recent
history) able to commit all of the changes together. This "limitation"
is by design; if I am not mistaken, TortoiseSVN requires one to commit
externals at (or below) the directory level at which the external is
defined. This is evidenced by the fact that the externals are "ghosted"
or "greyed-out" when committing from a higher-level directory.

I have observed instances in which I do not see local working-copy
changes to the externals that are defined several levels below the
directory on which I am performing a commit. Although, this behavior is
inconsistent any only happens in one repo, which leads me to believe it
is due to some kind of cache corruption or similar. I'll add more to
this thread if I'm able to reproduce the problem consistently.

Anyway, I just wanted to state that you SHOULDN'T be able to commit
those externals when you are performing the commit on a parent directory.

Thanks,
