Not only feature request.

File externals have been implemented and will be in 1.6.
The feature was merged into trunk last September:

  Merge the file-externals branch back to trunk. This allows an
  svn:externals to add a file into the working copy. It is implemented
  as an 'touch foo; svn add foo; svn switch URL foo'.

I guess issue #937 should be closed. (Cc'ing Blair because of this.)
