I have to wonder why you're not just doing your development in the
open source repository...
However, leaving aside that larger question, you want to use the
methods described for "Vendor Branches" in
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-7-sect-4
The description there is unfortunately known to have a minor bug or
two, and there's an open ticket to get the documentation cleaned up,
it just hasn't been done yet. I think you'll want to use the
svn_load_dirs.pl method recommended there, be sure to read that
script's own documentation.
Good luck,
