'svn import' won't overwrite anything in the repository, and neither
will 'svn cp'. Sorry about that, it was a deliberate decision.

Here's the algorithm I was describing:

$ svn import vendor-1.0/ http://host/vendor/vendor-1.0

$ svn cp http://host/vendor/vendor-1.0 http://host/myproject

# weeks go by, I make small changes to 'myproject'.
# vendor releases new version.

$ svn import vendor-1.1/ http://host/vendor/vendor-1.1

# now we have two unrelated trees in the repository. no big deal.

$ svn checkout http://host/myproject
$ cd myproject
$ svn merge --ignore-ancestry \
       http://host/vendor/vendor-1.0 http://host/vendor/vendor-1.1 .
