With the advent of indicies (basketweaver, eggbasket, etc) I dont really see a need for people to do a svn:externals for their own projects. Simply check the trunk out and make your own egg and egg basket. This is a formidable way of doing distribution of the trunk code, because it freezes development at a place that will work for your project.
I think SVN does not work well in the mode of development that benefits TG2 the most: the sprint. Many of our sprints are held in "pods" across the world. With a mecurial, git, or bzr repo, we can have these pods committing locally to a on-site committer, negating the need for passing around patches, or having everyone who is involved in the sprint have a commit bit. In the past we have gotten around this issue by creating a special user which everyone had the u/ p for, but I don't think this is a very good solution. Obviously I am in favor of a distributed VCS system. I think Alberto has created a highly useful integration between a website/trac/hg repo, and if we can leverage that, I think we should. We may also consider looking at git, and bzr, as HG has been getting some bad press in the recent future. cheers. -chris On Aug 19, 9:32 am, "Diez B.
