Sorry, but that won't get implemented. it would require to always scan
all folders up to the drive root, every time. Right now the scan stops
at the working copy root but if such externals require the intermediate
folders to also have overlays, then TSVN would have to scan over the
working copy root to see if there's another working copy as a parent
somewhere.
But why don't you just add sub and sub/sub to the parent working copy as
empty folders, and then anchor the externals at sub/sub?
Or if you don't want to change the externals, just add sub and sub/sub
to the working copy.
