Problem:
What I missed in subversion was a "deep commit", like you can do in TortoiseSVN. What I mean is that you can commit changes in normal directories and in "externals" in one go.

Solution:
I wrote a simple bash script to do just that.
Note that this will not always succeed, just like TortoiseSVN's deep commit does not always succeed. For instance, subversion cannot do a commit over two entirely different repositories. This is normal behaviour and the error message from the subversion command-line client points out what the problem is in such case (again, comparable to TortoiseSVN). The batchfile is attached.
