Copy or externals for vendor drops?

[Steve <su...@digitalnothing.com>]

Is it bad practice to use externals for doing vendor drops? Should I just be
copying in the code that I want to use instead?

Thanks,
Steve

For external libs, I have a completely separate repository. I then use the 
svn_load_dirs script to import point releases of these libraries. This has 
for me the advantage that I don't have to search for a special release in X 
different repositories, I really have all used code backed up and (this being 
a main difference to svn:externals) that I'm not referring to a volatile 
target that changes completely out of my control.

Just a suggestion, YMMV.
