Description

The 'externals_to_pin' hash that's passed to svn_client_copy7() is supposed
to contain all the externals that should be pinned.
But it appears that it must contain *all* externals as keys, even those that
should not be pinned. In that case, only the array (hash value) has to be
empty. Maybe the doc string should indicate that? Or maybe the feature is
wrong and a key path that's not in the hash should be treated as
not-to-be-pinned?
