switching repository after checkout

Hi, 

I'd wish to give my fellow co-developers a skeleton directory structure with certain svn:externals properties already set. So I created a repository "skeleton" with the structure and the properties as desired. But after a checkout, it is impossible to keep the properties as you cannot switch from one repository to another (probable empty) repository. If you do an export, the external properties are replaced by the directories they refer to. 

So the question is: how would one achieve what I want? Did anybody solve the same problem?  

Thanks for any input.

Dumping your repository should work. Your co-workers can then create a 
fresh repository by loading your dump. Check the SVN book for details:
