Interesting questions - we've been Maven based for so long that putting dependencies in SVN hasn't happened for a while.
What's your build structure, and how are the below used? I like the notion of the svn:external for Dojo. Otherwise I'd be tempted to have it in zip format and have the build unpack it from the zip into a directory that 'clean' removes [whatever your equivalent of 'target', 'build' or 'private' is].
