Are there any plans to support subversion working copies that contain
externals?
Subversion externals are sort of the same as having nested working
copies where you check out a copy of projectA, and then in the
projectA working directory you check out projectB (except you can also
do it with a single file). It's a mechanism to allow sharing source
code between projects (admittedly it's not a very good mechanism for
various reasons, but it's what subversion provides for that).

Right now, it appears that Meld just ignores the external files and
directories.
It would be ideal (IMO) if Meld would show status of external files
and recurse into external directories the same as it does for 'normal'
files and directories. NB: 'external' files and directories are
physically present in the working copy, but they live in a different
place in the repository that do the rest of the files in the working
copy.
