I think svn:external is used correctly in this case, when used without specifying a revision number. I think the revision number should be set only when creating a tag for a specific version (e.g. when creating a tag for Cocoon 2.1.8).
Or, maybe it works when copying the forms block into the tagged version, when creating a tag. E.g. something like: $ svn copy http://.../branches/2_1_X http://.../tags/2.1.8 $ svn copy http://.../blocks/forms/trunk \ http://.../tags/2.1.8/src/blocks/forms Maybe a simple script could do this.
