This request is a follow-up after issue 937
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=937

File externals are introduced in subversion 1.6, however only for
intra-repository file externals. Inter-repository file externals are not supported.

In my organization we use tools that expect libraries to be available in the
same directory. When using libraries from different SVN repositories, it is
required to add file externals. Directory externals won't work because they add
a directory level to the current directory. Additionally, we don't want to pull
all libraries from an external repository into all our projects, only the
libraries those projects need.
