I'm looking to checkout the ZendX library as a svn:external. I was

I use:

Jan,
Thanks for your suggestion. My only concern is that this is still
subject to changes. That's why I'm after a tag.

Two things with regard to this. First, changes merged to a release
branch are primarily bugfixes, and should always be backwards
compatible.

Okay, since this is the case I'll probably go with Jan's approach.

Second, if you want to ensure that the revision does not change... pin
to a specific revision. svn:externals supports that natively. As an
example, you can use something like the following:

   externals/extras r14722  
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/extras/branches/release-1.7/library/ZendX

I gave a made-up revision number there, but that's the basic idea -- you
can specify a revision between the local path and the externals path.


This was what I had in mind (but the syntax is helpful).

Thanks again.
