title: How to do internal svn:externals
body: <p>I'm trying to set up a sort of symbolic link in our subversion repository with svn:externals, but it's not really working all that well. What I want to do is link a folder in one part of the <em>same</em> repository to another, like so:</p>
  <p>src/somewhere_else/schema <a href="https://svn.acme.com/svn/project/trunk/src/schema" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://svn.acme.com/svn/project/trunk/src/schema</a></p>
  <p>This works fine for truly external resources (ie, directories in a different repo), but I can't get it to work for resources within the same repo like above. I've googled this for a while and it seems like this should be supported, what am I missing?</p>
  <p>We're using Subversion 1.5.5 under VisualSVN on a Windows 2003 server installation.</p>
  <p>I forgot to mention that I don't get any errors, the folder that should get it's content from the other folder just stays empty.</p>
