'svn status' must not show anything. That means you must add
and commit all files to be in the repository and ignore or remove
all the rest. The idea is to show that there may be stuff which
avoids reproducing the package by checking out the indicated
revision.

No. This is an error made by me during the transition to mGAR.
The external reference should be ignored. However, just adding
--ignore-externals doesn't fix this. I'll look into this.
Thanks for pointing this out.
