Recently, in our WSO2 Carbon code, we had to use svn externals to files. In older versions (before 1.6) of subversion, they supported externals only to folders. So after this, I had to update my subversion client version to 1.6.x to take a full update of Carbon code base. But my Ubuntu version is 9.04 and the latest subversion package it has is 1.5.4.
Then I searched for different options and found this post very useful. It is written for Ubuntu 8.10. But it works for any version of Ubuntu.
