Please note, that kind of links are supported:
(from http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html)

$ svn propget svn:externals calc
third-party/sounds         http://sounds.red-bean.com/repos
third-party/skins          http://skins.red-bean.com/repositories/skinproj
third-party/skins/toolkit -r21 http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/skin-maker

(look at the '-r21' in the last line)
