I’ve used a script that would enumerate the externals and used the ‘{DATE}’ format to update the externals to the same date as the main branch.  Just get the date with something like "svn info | awk '/Last Changed Date:/ {print $4, $5}’”.

Alfred,
that is great, thank you ! As I use one repository, I even don't need 
the date trick. I can directly go with the revision number.
"date" is not precise enough for me, as I have multiple commits per day 
and I want an exact one.
I had a srcipt on WIndows, which worked for externals on folders. 
Unfortunately, I have no script which handles externals on files.
The script searches for ".svn" folders and runs "svn up -r 1234" on 
those folders. Unfortunately, this does not wqork on externals on files.

Thank you for all,
Harald
