This behavior doesn't surprise me in light of what the svnbook says
about disjoint working copies and svn:externals:
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html>
[...] The working copies created via the externals definition support
are still disconnected from the primary working copy (on whose
versioned directories the svn:externals property was actually set).
And Subversion still only truly operates on non-disjoint working
copies. So, for example, if you want to commit changes that you've
made in one or more of those external working copies, you must run
svn commit explicitly on those working copies—committing on the
primary working copy will not recurse into any external ones.
If this *is* intended behavior, perhaps a mention of this in the
svnbook's section on svnversion would be appropriate.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the documentation of
svn_wc_revision_status(...) but there's nothing there that pointed
out the bit about not crossing svn:externals boundaries. Presumably,
this is because it's a natural consequence of svn's design.
