Here, Local Path refers to the file or folder relative to the folder that has this externals property set on it. So, if I had a folder at ^/trunk/Externals that I wanted to exist here as well, I’d set it up as follows:

Local Path: Externals (note that it must not exist in the current directory; it will be created)
URL: ^/trunk/Externals
This is setting a property (as you can see from the title bar) on the folder C:\Sources\Ops. The result is that updating C:\Sources\Ops will pull the contents of the ^/trunk/Externals folder in SVN into C:\Sources\Ops\Externals.
