+
+The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders out of the box.
+However, if those externals are ''not'' using the `http:` protocol, or if a link to a different repository browser (such another Trac or [http://www.viewvc.org/ ViewVC]) is desired, then Trac needs to be able to map an external prefix to this other URL.
+
+This mapping is done in the `[svn:externals]` section of the TracIni
+
+Example:
+{{{
+[svn:externals]
+http://theirserver.org/svn/eng-soft       http://ourserver/viewvc/svn/$path/?pathrev=25914
+svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository  http://ourserver/trac/support/browser/$path?rev=$rev
+}}}
+With the above, the `svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository/tags/1.1/tools` external will be mapped to `http://ourserver/trac/support/browser/tags/1.1/tools?rev=` (and `rev` will be set to the appropriate revision number if the external additionally specifies a revision, see the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.html SVN Book on externals] for more details).
