a gridflow folder, but it seems that there is a bug in svn about
the setting the svn:externals property on the externals folder (I
hope that it doesn't have to do with the name coïncidence). so, on
at least one existing checkout, an update would tell the recent
revision number of the last commit, yet did not even try to
download GridFlow. At least I didn't forget to commit the propset
(but then I wonder how to commit a propset without committing file
modifs... especially file modifs of a whole folder)
Unless you plan on integrating your release cycle with Pd-extended, I
don't think it makes much sense to use the svn:externals link. If
you want to include Gridflow in Pd-extended, it would make much more
sense to include released versions of the source in the SVN.
