Ryan:
I was able to set multiple external definitions using the --file option.
Worked pretty well, actually considering how challenging everything else
has been so far!
One last question on this topic. I want to pin the external definition to a
known revision using something this shortened command, but it's not
working. The "-r 109" being the revision I want to pin to.
c:\Temp\800>svn propset svn:externals -r 109 <path info> .
svn: E205000: Cannot specify revision for setting versioned property
'svn:externals'
Andreas: I will provide feedback on the documentation shortly.
