svn:externals - update and checkout abort if subset of svn:externals connected resources provide no access

[Achim Spangler <Ac...@mnet-online.de>]

Hi,
in my project A, some additional resources are integrated by svn:externals.
The access to some of the external resources is blocked for some users.

Example:
A
-> extern_1 // available for anonymous
-> extern_2 // only available for members of group_X
-> extern_3 // only available for members of group_x and group_y

Problem:
If anonymous users or group_y try to checkout or update project A, the process 
stops at extern_2 with missing access right error message, even if extern_3 
would be available again for users of group_Y.

Request:
SVN should try all svn:externals, even if one of them does not work due to 
missing access rights. The failed svn:externals should be simply reported at 
the end.
This way users of group_y would get access to extern_3.

##
This has been reported also via:
http://svn.haxx.se/tsvn/archive-2007-03/0188.shtml

##
I didn't find any reference that would indicate, that this would be possible 
meanwhile.

Kind Regards,
Achim
