In TSVN, I use the build scripts to patch or otherwise modify external
sources if needed.
If you have a good build script, you could do it like this (having the
Joomla! sources included with svn:externals, meaning they're versioned):
<buildscript>
* update the wc
* modify files in external sources as required
or
* copy files from another versioned folder to the externals folders
* build everything
* do post-build steps like uploading files, ...
* run 'svn revert' on the modified but versioned files so they don't
mess up the overlays all the time
</buildscript>
You can check out the TSVN build scripts to see how we do it: in our
'ext\build' folder, some of those scripts patch external sources by
copying our modified versions over to the original location of those
sources. Our modified versions of those files are also kept in the
'ext\build' folder.
