I've not noticed that. I have noticed that using externals using the
same directory as a target clears it out before writing. (ie I had hoped
it would just populate the directory with the contents of 2 repository
dirs - which would be great, even it was only supported for exporting!)
However, all my externals have a single target directory - none of them
have 2 levels like you have.
