Oops, you are right!  It doesn't make much sense to inspect one version
of ".hgsub" and then update to another.  Sigh :-(

So it seems the safest way  is the default configuration via ".hgsvnext-
ernals" and the explicit "hg svn updateexternals" command after inspect-
ing the current contents of file ".hgsvnexternals".

Thanks for the discussion :-)

Sincerely,
  Rainer
