I'm just wondering if svn externals are a good idea wrt to versioning.
One unfortunate side-effect of using svn externals is it's tricky to track down via viewcvs - eg http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/cocoon/ branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/src/blocks/forms/ has now disappeared, and it's not immediately apparent looking in http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/src/blocks/ that forms is an external.
I don't quite know what the answer is (an update to viewcvs to make it indicate externals perhaps?), just raising it here in case anyone else gets confused ...
