The SVN refuse to recognize the lack of "read-only copies" as a defect,
but there is a workaround, which is to add rules preventing checkins to
portions of the tree:
~ http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s04.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4.2
We could adopt such rules for the 'tags' section of the repository
(perhaps granting "fixup" rights to a restricted set of user IDs).
One would then be able to define the 'svn:external' property pointing to
the "read-only" tag with reasonable safety.
