But in that case why maintain two separate repositories? One for "our code" and one for external. I'm assuming the code in these repositories is open source... right? Why not simply check in the version to be used right in your local SCM?

There are a bunch of different SCMs. It's nice to decouple "hold released builds at specific versions" from your general development repository.
