A QT based tool to manage svn:externals.
The svn:externals are a property type used by the subversion version control system to include different subdirectories from different location into a source code tree.
If a software is build by different libraries, modules or software parts within a source-code tree, the configuration of this software can be done with svn:externals. In this situations, specially of the configuration gets more and more complex, this tool can help to get an overview which folder is pulled in by a svn:external entry, from where it is coming from and which revision is used.
The software can be seen as a file-browser, which is extended by some information about the svn:externals. It consists a revision-log browser which then helps to select the correct revision.
