That explains it. A related follow up, I'm setting svn:externals like so:
https://devsubversion/svn/Development/Trunk/Projects/XCCS/Exports@1395 Externals/XCCS
That seems to work fine, when I checkout I get the correct revision however when I was looking into this I noticed a different format:
-r1395 https://devsubversion/svn/Development/Trunk/Projects/XCCS/Exports Externals/XCCS
I believe my first example is the correct format now, and the other is just old or perhaps simply incorrect?
Thanks!
