I'm using VisualSVNServer. I've a svn repo (say: test1) with externals (say: test2). Everything fine so far, when I checkout test1, test2 is automatically checked out to and placed inside my working copy of test1. Good.

But when looking into test1 using the web frontend of VisualSVNServer I see no hint that there is an external linked to that repo.

Is that the correct behaviour? Is there a way to see the externals - or at least hints that there are externals - in the web frontend?

Cheers and thanks, Wolfgang

Update May 2024

Starting from version 5.0.0, the web interface of VisualSVN Server displays folders added as svn:externals in the form of links (shortcuts). See the demo site at https://demo-server.visualsvn.com/!/#tortoisesvn/view/head/trunk/ext

Initial answer (outdated)

The web interface of VisualSVN Server 3.5 does not display external items added via svn:externals. However, this feature may be added in future server updates.

At some point between 3.5 and 5.3.1, this was added. Externals are now visible and clearly marked as shortcuts in the web interface.
