See <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/769236/how-can-i-do-a-single-svn-commit-across-multiple-externals-at-the-command-line" rel="nofollow">this post on StackOverflow</a> for details. In short, you can try to use Eclipse's commit which handles this automatically. Diego, I believe this is impossible. See this post on StackOverflow for details.

Augmenting the example above you do it like this: svn propset svn:externals 'akismet -r 22 http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/akismet/trunk' . Notice the "-r 22" where 22 is the desired revision number.

This will open up your editor, and allow you to easily manage the "foldername http://repos/path" entries from a much nicer interface. I use svn:externals so much I set up a bash alias that shortens the command even further to just: svnext In fact, I've got a whole library of little svn shortcuts set up as aliases in .bash_profile that make working with svn on the command line easier and more powerful than any GUI.

If folder is tooo big to checkout completely you can run this command: svn co svn://branck/blah -N So easy, but I also spend lot of time figuring this out. Hope, this helps.
