Is there any way to help avoid accidental commits to svn:externals in TortoiseSVN?
I am on a development team with some members who have accidentally committed changes to svn:externals. If the externals in question are from a different repo, they get handled better in TortoiseSVN, with a clear visual separation in TortoiseSVN (see below), along with not being checked by default:
But if they're from the same repo (different projects in different areas of a large common repo) there is no visual indication that the files to be committed are any different.
Aside from server-side features like commit hooks, is there any way to prevent commits to externals? This is really causing some problems.

Never mind, I wasn't using the latest version of TSVN. Recent versions have the BlockPeggedExternals feature

really? Huh, I guess it's been awhile. Was it enabled by default? I installed 1.9.7.27907 in 2017 and the behavior changed when I used 1.11.0.28416. I was running 1.9.7 yesterday before I upgraded, and I was able to select pegged externals for commit... but I didn't know about theBlockPeggedExternalsfeature then.
