When a change is done in a svn:externals folder, the changelog generated by subversion (changelog.xml) plugin is wrong. As a result the maven plugin is not able to find the changed module.

Fixing this issue requires to properly generate the SVN changelog, then also fix the maven plugin to handle checkout folder.
