Then I must be missing something. Isn't the whole point of linking directly to another repository the ability to always be referencing the current state of the subscribed-to tree? Not a snapshot. Or does it not work that way?
You don't *want* an arbitrary current state. Really.
Again, think about this. What happens when you need to go "back in time" in your tree, say to track down a regression?
Using svn:externals sacrifices the ability to check out rSomethingOrOther of your tree and get a known state.
