The easiest way to do that would be with svn:externals. Create a local
repo with a folder called Company and checkout Company (empty folder).
Now set svn:externals properties on that folder:
http://domain.com/svn/company/product/program1/release program1
http://domain.com/svn/company/product/program2/release program2

That should do exactly what you want. Updating the local repo's
Company folder will pull in the release directory from the live repo
to a folder name of your choosing.
