Henri,

have you had any additional time to play with svnsync?  i have spent a 
few minutes trying to get it setup but as far as i can see you can only 
use it to mirror an entire repository, not just a specific module.  i 
may be wrong about this because there isn't a whole lot of svnsync 
documentation out there, but i haven't seen anything that suggests you 
can sync just a single module and when i try svnsync suggests i can't do 
it ...

[~/tmp/svncopy ] svnsync init 
file:///export/home/agilliland/tmp/svncopy/roller_copy $ROLLERSVN
svnsync: Session is rooted at 
'https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/roller/trunk' but the repos 
root is 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf'

i would be fine working off a copy of the Roller trunk, but i don't 
really want a copy of the entire ASF repository.

:( Sounds probable; I was doing a repository (migration to Google).

I thought this issue had gone away because the new dev work had moved
onto a branch?

I'm guessing that svn:externals is not good enough?  It would allow
you to suck in Roller's source, but not really modify it.
