Ahh, most cunning. I did not know about that, thank you. It's not
quite as neat a result (you have to run svn commit on each external
manually, you don't get a global checkin, doesn't work on
non-directories etc), but it's probably good enough for the majority
of cases, and involves vastly less black magic -)
