[Bug?] SVN 1.0.1 svn:externals (ci, st, diff)

Hi there,

i have a SVN-repository which has two projects in there
1. ae
2. lib

Now i have checked out ae and defined an svn:external
using the following:
svn ps -F t.txt svn:externals
where as t.txt comprises of:
lib svn://svn/svn/lib/trunk

after checkin i have done an svn update which checked out
the lib part creating a directory in my working copy of ae.
Everything ok.

Next I have changed a file within the lib part which will
be printed using "svn st" from the root dir of the ae part:

kama@wanderix:~/public_html/ae> svn st
X      lib

Performing status on external item at 'lib'
M      lib/defs_lib.inc.php

Ok. 

But when i try to "checkin" using "svn ci" nothing happens...
nor using "svn diff"...
It seemed to me that both "svn ci" and "svn diff" ignore
the differences in the lib directory....

Now my Question: Is this a Bug or desired bahviour?

If i would like to checkin the changes made in the lib part
i have to change to the directory "lib" and "svn ci" there....

OS: Linux SuSE 7.1 
    Berkeley DB 4.0.14
    SVN 1.0.1

Kind regards
Karl Heinz

Thank you for clarification of the situation...

I should reread the SVN book  ;-)

Kind Regards.

It's a known limitation/bug that 'svn commit' doesn't understand 
svn:externals.  The section in the book which describes them even 
documents this.
