Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2007-01-25 15:03:21 UTC 
The externals definitions are absolute urls. This means that external checkouts use HTTP even if I use svn+ssh to checkout. This causes problems if an outgoing (transparent) proxy server doesn't allow the PROPFIND method:

> svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/libical/trunk'
> svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/libical/trunk': 400 Bad request: request method not supported (http://svn.gnome.org)

The above means that I cannot checkout several modules without resorting to manual checkouts over svn+ssh at the right places.
