Here's how we do it.
There's a subdirectory in the project that's called components (the generic
code).
[issysd25@a05008 mal]$ svn pl -v
Properties on '.':
svn:externals : components
http://a05009.aex.nl:65030/svn/MAL2/products/trunk/components

> hello, I'm having problems with the svn:externals properties setting. Can

> I have a checkout of a generic source directory, let's say
> ~/source/generic/
> and for some other projects specific code:
> ~/source/specific/project1, project2 etc.
> These projects need to be compiled with the generic source code, so
> I would expect I could type something like (from directory project1):
>
> svn propset svn:externals ../../generic project1
>
> this doesn't work because svn complains that project1 is not under
> version
> control (but it is, there is a .svn directory and svn commit works)
>
> (from the specific directory)
> svn propset svn:externals ../generic project1
> gives 'error parsing on 'project1' : '../generic'
>
> (from the specific directory)
> svn propset svn:externals svn://localhost/svnrepos/projects/generic
> project1
> gives 'error parsing on 'project1' : 'svn blabla'
