<p>Is there a way to exclude all svn externals when doing a recursive update?</p>

<p>Is there a way to exclude only 1 of all of the svn externals when doing a recursive update?</p>

<p>Basically I'd like to cut down the svn update time, and a couple of the SVN externals that I have will just about never get updated.</p>

Yes, there is an option for this (to ignore all):
```
```
> svn update --ignore-externals
```
```
I don't know of any option to specifically ignore one or some externals while updating the rest.
