This has a bug, when updating a file external it displays the external's directory rather than the external itself. (But maybe this is a bug in the way the library generates the notifications?)
May I ask what is the motivation for this change? The normal notifications (U path/to/somewhere) will always immediately precede the "Updated external 'path/to/somewhere' to revision %ld", so repeating the external's path there seems a bit redundant. I haven't run 'make check'.
