Require better support for Tags, Branches, and Merge operations in Subversion when using svn:externals

Hi,

When using Subversion with a large project that integrates multiple
independent libraries and modules that come from different SVN
repositories, it is necessary to use the svn:external mechanism to link
to the different modules in subversion. However there are several
problems with using externals when active development is also going on
within the referenced module.

Summary:

1) References must be individually managed with "svn propedit"
2) References should be pinned to specific versions when tagging.
3) Tagging should result in a tag being created in the referenced
repository
4) Branching should result in a tag being created in the referenced
repository
5) Commits should be recursive
6) Merges should be recursive

Please help us to solve this at the earliest.

Thanks & Regards,

Dinoj D
