Updating w/o un-switching nested working-copies?

Ok maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't find
a way to update a tree of working copies so that nested WCs
which are switched to other branches are not un-switched.

If there is a tree of WCs:
top {svn:externals = "^/ext/trunk ext"}
  sub1
  sub2
  ext { switched to ^/ext/branch/b1 }
and I call update at the top level, ext is switched back
to ^/ext/trunk. This is very annoying if the wc-tree contains
many modules linked via externals references. All one can do is
walking though the wc-tree and updating each directory directly
or updating all and re-switching everything back to the branches.

I'm missing an option for svn update that keeps the switched-states
sub-directories. If there is none, I would make this a feature-request.
