60 All svn:externals properties are serialized into a single .hgsvnexternals file, with the following syntax:

62 --------------------
63 [.]
64 external_reference_line1_1
65 external_reference_line1_2
66 [dir2]
67 external_reference_line2_1
68 external_reference_line2_2

71 A header line gives the directory the property applies on, '.' for the project root directory. The property content follows, *every line being prefixed by a single space*.
