Hi Charles,

update and checkout traverse into externals. Commit will complain that
the WC is from a different location and will not traverse into
externals. You have to commit the external directory separately.

if you got:
/foo (http://my.svn.server/foo)
/foo/bar/
/foo/baz/ (svn:externals -> http://my.svn.server/somwhere/else)

an update of foo will update the entire structure to the latest revision
and will show you, wher the external stuff came from.

If you modify something inside /foo or /foo/bar, committing /foo will
just work.

If you modify something inside /foo/baz, committing /foo will complain
about different WC URLs and committing /foo/baz will just work.

Cheers
