Because what if someone wants to make a branch out of all of the stuff in 
pd/externals ... then pd/externals/gridflow won't be branched, and that 
person won't be able to patch it. Well, there are already branches like 
that, and the same applies to tags. I thought that this is what Hans 
wanted me to understand but he didn't explain it. In any case, this is 
what I eventually understood from his original comment on svn:externals.
