I have a bunch of externals directories in a plugins folder.
~> svn propedit svn:externals .
akismet http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/akismet/trunk/
stats http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/stats/tags/1.3.7/
html-purified http://svn.wp-plugins.org/html-purified/trunk/
Some times I will update a single externals reference to update the version number from say 1.3.7 to 1.3.8 but I am forced to issue an svn up command to the whole folder and simply svn up stats doesn't work, instead it returns something like:
At revision 108437.
Instead of updating the folder from an external repository. Is it possible to update a single external sub-folder?

The SVN update Command. The svn update command lets you refresh your locally checked out repository with any changes in the repository HEAD on the server. It also tells you what has been changed, added, deleted. If a change has been made to a file you have also changed locally, svn will try to merge those changes.
Simply type svn update [name-of-directory] , or cd to that directory and type svn update there.
What are externals definitions? Externals definitions map a local directory to the URL of a versioned resource. The svn:externals property can be set on any versioned directory and its value is a multi-line table of subdirectories and absolute repository URLs.
Commit uploads your changes on the CVS / SVN server, and Update overwrites the files on your localhost with the ones on the server.
No, because this is a single property on the parent folder, defining these externals references for each of the "virtual" subfolders. The actual subfolders don't exist in Subversion's eyes.

You could switch the external to the new version if you want to avoid the 'svn up' on the parent folder. First change the svn:externals property to the new tag, commit. Then
svn switch http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/stats/tags/1.3.8/ stats
But of course, updating the parent folder is recommended.
