But that's what you should do: you updated the externals to that
revision, so you should peg it to that revision.

Problem with the previous approach was (using the last-committed
revision) that if you renamed/moved a file in the externals, that
wouldn't increase the last-committed revision of the file and therefore
you would peg to a revision before that rename/move.
Using the revision the external was last updated to is the safe way to
do it.

No, just use the revision that's shown there.
