I already realized how complicated this problem is.
My first idea was to parse the log files of the source repository and
generate svn commands which will later be applied to a wc of the target
repository.
With this a solution for your example could be:
result of parsing revision 123's log:
svn cp A B
result of parsing revision 126's log:
svn cp A C
if b has been modified in the meantime: cp B C
At the end I would have a new revision in the target repository where the
log says that B as well as C are descendants of A. That fact that C is a
copy of B is not relevant in the target repository as it only shows
changes since the last commit in this repository.
When I saw svn-push I hoped that this program could solve my problem and
prevent me from parsing the log.
