Not using externals, no. The alternative would be to consider the
external htdocs tree a vendor branch, import it wholly into your own
repository under /vendor/foo/current (where foo is the name of the
external project), copy this to /vendor/foo/1.2.3 (representing the
version of the external project), copy this to somewhere else in the
repository where you can modify it like /bar/foo (where bar is your
own project name), then modify and commit your modifications in /
projects/bar/foo. When a new version of the external project is
released, you use svn_load_dirs.pl to load it into for example /
vendor/foo/1.2.4 (and /vendor/foo/current), and then you can merge
those changes into /bar/foo with "svn merge $REPO/vendor/foo/1.2.3
$REPO/vendor/foo/1/2/4 ." See the section in the book on vendor
branches for more information:
