Don't show svn:externals in svn status

Question

I've made one svn:external in my repository. Everything works fine, except the output of the svn status command. In the output there is lot of information I don't need:

$ svn st
X      lib

Performing status on external item at 'lib'

I can run svn st --ignore-externals -q and I can place this line in a small script, but maybe there is better solution. How can I see status of my working copy without seeing info about externals?

Answer 1

That seems to be the proper way to ignore externals to appear in your svn status output.
