Does an svn cp (url->url) accept that syntax? A workaround might be
to copy to a tag first and point the external to the tag - with the
possible issue that the tag is now pinned to that version even if HEAD
is still moving (the object has not been deleted yet), but if you know
that you probably wouldn't mention the peg rev at all.
