This should be solvable by using svn:externals [1]

I think you misunderstand externals.


1. External directories are automatically checked out when you check out the parent. My suggestion is specifically NOT to check out ALL subdirectories.

2. 'svn status' lists externals, much as it does switches, so no win there.

3. You can't commit the whole tree at once, if part of it is external, unlike with switched directories (from the same repository), where it is totally transparent.
