AW: Find out whether a directory is external

Ok, I see.

Maybe this is also the reason for the following problem:

When I commit several pathes, one of them being an external directory, I
get an exception:
"Are all the targets part of the same working copy?",
SVN_ERR_WC_NOT_LOCKED.

I cannot omit the external directory from the list of items to be
commited (as it may contain property changes I want to commit), and I
cannot use recursive commit on the parent directory (as this would
commit other objects the user did not select for commit).

Is there a workaround?

Or is this question better submitted to the dev list?

Best regards

Markus Schaber
