Is there a script to change the rest of svn?
Also the externals howto should be changed to use A_CANT instead of zero.

Aha... DOUBLE fail on my part - I wasn't enforcing A_CANT and anyhow
almost none fo teh tlde objects were using it! Just goes to show -
if yuo've never tested something it probably doesn't work.
Should be fixed in vanilla git repo now.
cheers
