This probably isn't why you asked, but if you *do* want to copy between
repositories regularly, it can be done pretty easily with SVK
<http://svk.elixus.org/>, which is a decentralized system built on and
compatible with Subversion.

I use it on occasion for mirroring or copying repositories, for private
branches on repositories that I don't have direct write access to, or
long-term disconnected development. It works very well for all of these
things and doesn't tie you to it's system (e.g. you can use it to do
copies/merges between two regular repositories, and then you can ditch SVK
after that if you wish).
