passing -r through to externals

[Jon Gorrono <jp...@ucdavis.edu>]

Greetings:
I can't find any archives of this list, so I joined in order to ask a 
couple questions. I guess the first has just been asked (archives?)....

 the second is a bit more complicated....

stop me if you've heard this one :)

In short: Is there any way to get a rev passed from the client (say, 
from -r switch) to effect the recursive updates that are based on 
svn:externals?

setup:
Central module looks like..
central/branches
central/tags
central/trunk

svn:externals in 'trunk' like ..

submoduleX    [URLX]
submoduleY    [URLY]
submoduleZ    [URLZ]


svn:externals in 'branches' and 'tags' like ...

submoduleX   -r x  [URLX]
submoduleY  -r y  [URLY]
submoduleZ   -r z   [URLZ]

Now if I co trunk I will get the HEAD revision from each submodule's 
URL. Makes good sense.

But if I co -r z of trunk, I *still* get he HEAD revision from each 
submodule's URL.

Is there something like this that can be done:

submoduleX   -r {$REVISION}  [URLX]

where $REVISION takes on the value of the -r flag from the client?

Thanks for your time.

Here are the official archives but they're hard to search:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=users

This unofficial archive is much better:

http://svn.haxx.se/users/

It's not possible. You need to put the "-r" part into the definition  
of the external if you want that.
