    111 The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders out of the box.
    112 However, if those externals are ''not'' using the `http:` or `https:` protocol, or if a link to a different repository browser such as 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.
