I was looking at the proposed backport for issue 4000 (copies of file externals) to 1.7 and I'm not sure it fixes the problem--all sorts of things don't work. As far as I can see the fundamental problem is that file externals are always created at op-depth 0, even if the file external is locally added or copied:

Is the current behavior good enough to release? -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
