Checkout including externals is getting the head revision instead of specified one

[Bastian Holtermann / SOREL GmbH <b....@sorel.de>]

Hello,

since I am using svn, version 1.7.1 (r1186859) compiled Oct 22 2011, 
10:53:27
I got the problem that when I checkout some code that is using externals 
with a special specified revision of that external to be checked out
svn checks out the head revision in stead of the specified revision number.

When I use svn update after checkout on that trunk than the revision of 
that external is corrected.

I am not shure if this is a subversion bug or if anything is wrong on my 
system.

Reproduction:

1. Checkout a trunk that is using an external with a special revision 
number e.g.: svn:externals -r 10163 ^/path destination
2. Check if that external was checked out with revision 10163 or if it 
was checked out with head revision
     Due to that it is recommended that the revision 10163 is not the 
head revision
3. Update the trunk containing the external code in the working copy 
using svn update
4. Check if the revision is now the right one

Agreed, that is a bug.  I've raised issue 4053:
