This is not possible with the current limitations of svn:externals; it
can only link directories.

Check out one of these uris:

svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/people/joeyh/trans/po_anon (anonymous checkouts only)
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/people/joeyh/trans/po (non-anonymous only)

I'm not sure where to put this permanatly or what to call it. I agree
that it does not belong in trunk. Maybe a toplevel "pofiles" directory?

Note that it will require periodic maintenance as new po directories are
added to the tree and as things are moved around.
