Excellent, I was hoping I might be doing something wrong. Looks like I have
some mass updates to do in several projects.
Perhaps as a suggestion the documentation for svn:externals should
specifically recommend using peg revisions over the other way of specifying
a specific revision since I can't possibly see why the current behavior of
the -r mechanism to be desirable.
Thanks,
