Hi Christina,

This looks great to me.

For ‘svn-reference’, I had to check the code: when ‘recursive?’ is
false, “--ignore-externals” is passed to ‘svn’.  I have a vague
recollection of “externals” being akin to submodules in Git.  Anyway, I
modified the patch as shown below.

Applied now, thank you!
