It appears as if git-svn-clone-externals doesn't work when the external specifies the revision to use: ``` bash $ git-svn-clone-externals library/shindig/php/src -> 1094333 git svn clone -r 1094333 library/shindig/php/src Using existing [svn-remote "svn"] svn-remote.svn.fetch already set to track :refs/remotes/git-svn $ git svn show-externals # / # /library/shindig/php/ /library/shindig/php/src -r 1094333 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shindig/trunk/php/src ```
