Sorry, ignore my previous advice, you are trying to work with remote working
copies, not repositories.
Still, you shouldn't do it. If you think you need to, your workflow is
broken. If you think you cannot commit regularly because you will corrupt
trunk, then look at using feature branches.
If you still think you need to, remote working copies are still a no-no.
Make your local working copies local, and look at using robocopy or rsync to
mirror your local working copy to a backup location.
