Summary:                    ctest_update can't handle svn externals properly --
unknown user on update of svn external
Description: 
CTest misses to retrieve the proper username if a change to a build is comming
from updating a file that lives withhin an svn external directory. 

Parts of our projects share some code by using a common place in the repository
and getting that parts of the code into the project source using svn externals. 

If some file of an svn external is changed and continuous builds are running, a
call to ctest_update() sees the change and properly updates the working copy on
the build node but misses to retrieve the username of the user that made the
change. 

See example xml file.
