That would be great.  Er, which commands actually do something with
externals?  In my experience, just checkout, update and switch.  In
particular commit and diff do not (which frequently catches us out
here...).

We'd like to see all recursive commands recursing through externals by
default, if that's possible.

I think commit does, in that if you change the value of the externals
property, Subversion will update the external working copy.  Though,
no, it won't actually recurse in and perform a commit from that
working copy.
