svn_oo.WorkingTree.update does not ignore svn:externals

Bug Description

In python-svn 1.4.2+dfsg-0.1ubuntu2, pysvn.Client.update() appears to ignore its ignore_externals parameter, and adds missing externals. Cscvs uses this method in svn_oo.WorkingTree.update.

The observable result is that, on affected systems, svn_oo.WorkingTree.update does not ignore externals.

So if an imported branch uses externals, and its checkout is updated with svn_oo.WorkingTree.update, then it will fail the validation cross-check.

Related to bug 69513.

I plan to fix this using the, currently in progress, custom bindings to libsvn using Pyrex. So cscvs will drop the dependency on pysvn and deal directly with libsvn.
