I want to add a relative svn external in the new format introduced in
svn 1.5, which permits relative paths. This is a great improvement for
maintenance because it removes host names and makes internal externals
(I am turning into Rumsfeld) robust against branching.
This *will* cause those using an old (pre 1.5) svn client to be forced
to upgrade. In another project, these externals did cause minor user
confusion.
So, please vote (or just tell me if it is allowed):
svn externals in svn 1.5 format in the GeoServer repo? Yes or no?

Does our current version of subversion at codehaus support this?

As far as I know, all interpretation of svn:externals occurs on the client side. You can even turn them off with --ignore-externals if you like.
What svn version is used by Hudson?

It would seem 1.5.1, if Hudson is using the same svn as the rest of the
system:
[aaime@anonymised.com ~]$ svn --version
svn, version 1.5.1 (r32289)
compiled Jul 31 2008, 00:26:12
