The project config never stays the same all the lifetime of the project.
It changed every time we add or remove components to the project, or
even when we move the components inside the project. It looks natural
for me to have the history of those changes stored in bzr.

Add here the real history of the project as snapshot of revids of all
components for the given moment of time when you commit the entire
project -- that what is history of the project for me.

I'm not sure how svn tracks the history of svn:externals. And I'm sure
svn does not have support for taking snapshots of the entire project.

So it's really depends on your intent. If you want just round-trip
between svn and bzr then you can just put .bzr/externals/svn file
or-name-it-somehow-differently.

I suppose in this case you must not mix standard ./.bzrmeta/externals
config and proposed .bzr/externals/svn config.
