[Svnmerge] svnmerge and externals

[Ericsson, Lars]

Hi,

I came across a problem with svnmerge using externals.

Svnmerge uses 'svn st -q .' to determine if the working copy is clean or
not.
This works fine for non-external files/folder and external folders.

External files are still listed which result in svnmerge returning,
'svnmerge: "." has local modifications; it must be clean'

Adding --force will override problem.

Using svn version 1.7, will make this worse, since 'svn st -q .' now
reports 
both external files and folders.


Any ideas of fixing this behavior ?
