The behaviour I see depends on the client, not the server. The 1.8
client shows the external status against the explicit revision, whether
the server is 1.7 or 1.8. The 1.7 client shows the external status
against HEAD, whether the server is 1.7 or 1.8. This is because the 1.7
client doesn't store the revision in the EXTERNALS table in the working
copy.
