That's one is lacking. Initially I wanted to implement such support
for scmproj, but it did not happen for several reasons, mainly because
of lack of interest and feedback from other people.

So if you need fetch some files from URL neither bzr-externals nor
scmproj will help you. Unless you import these files into bzr branch ;-)

That's fine, I'm sorry if I said something wrong or harsh.

Only if you really wish. You don't have to.
