I have a bunch of externals directories in a plugins folder.

~> svn propedit svn:externals .  akismet http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/akismet/trunk/ stats http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/stats/tags/1.3.7/ html-purified http://svn.wp-plugins.org/html-purified/trunk/

Some times I will update a single externals reference to update the version number from say 1.3.7 to 1.3.8 but I am forced to issue an svn up command to the whole folder and simply svn up stats doesn’t work, instead it returns something like:

At revision 108437.

Instead of updating the folder from an external repository. Is it possible to update a single external sub-folder?

  1. No, because this is a single property on the parent folder, defining these externals references for each of the ‘virtual’ subfolders. The actual subfolders don’t exist in Subversion’s eyes.
