One thing Tino suggested: it might be a firewall issue. Does svn's externals-fetching look somehow different to a firewall than does a regular (non-external) checkout? When I tried checking out on my laptop, I noticed that ZoneAlarm asked 'me if I wanted to allow svn.exe to use the internet at exactly the moment that it was time to fetch the externals. Weird - doesn't it still use ssh? What's different?
Tino's on the right track; the externals do NOT use ssh; they use an unauthenticated connection and cannot be used to commit changes (by intent). So it could be a firewall issue; some different port needs to be opened. The Subversion documentation should tell you what's needed. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> Zope Corporation
