One thing worth noting here: the macros/ subdirectory will be checked
out anonymously, so you won't be able to edit files within that
directory and commit, like we can with CVS at the moment.

Using the "svn+ssh" URL in the svn:externals property is no better,
since it would cause problems for someone trying to check out the module
anonymously.

I don't think I've ever heard a solution to this problem with svn:externals.
