[JENKINS-36493] SVN modifications not detected in nested externals

My Jenkins job is based on a SVN repository to checkout.

My SVN repository has several levels of nested SVN repositories via the external property such as :

my jobs environment under SVN => SVN external level 1 => SVN external level 2 => SVN external level 3

My problem is that Jenkins does not detect a modification done in the "level 2" or "level 3" and the job is not executed.

When I launch the job manually the update is performed normally and the job is executed.
