[pacman-dev] [Proposal] --ignore-externals for svn source

Hi,

I'm trying to put an svn source into a PKGBUILD, but unfortunately, the 
source has many large externals, that I'd like to ignore. If I read 
scripts/libmakepkg/source/svn.sh.in correctly, the cloning of all 
externals is (currently) hard coded.

I would like to implement some option to disable that. What would be the 
best format for that?

The only thing, I could come up with, is a source in the form:

"$local_name::svn+https://$url#$revision?ignore_externals"

However, this looks totally wrong, as "ignore_externals" is nothing, that 
should be done with the tree after cloning (in contrast to "signed" for 
git), but rather something, that should be inherent to the source (like a 
different protocol).

Or is there already some nice trick to achieve, what I want? (I tried to 
put "ignore-externals" into .makepkg/config inside the svn tree, but it 
didn't change anything.)

regards,
Erich
