svn switch & svn:externals

[Emmanuel Blot <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

It seems that the "svn switch" command does not update the
svn:externals definitions, which seems a bit different than what's the
Subversion book reports:

"Have you noticed that the output of svn switch and svn update look
the same? The switch command is actually a superset of the update
command."

However, in the chapter that deals with the 'externals' feature, we can read:

"Also, be aware that if you need to re-parent your working copy (using
svn switch --relocate), externals definitions will not also be
re-parented."

Is there any way to force a "true" svn update when "svn switch" is
invoked, i.e. once the working copy is updated from the new URL, the
external definitions are updated as well?

Thanks in advance,
Manu
