Why are you trying to do this? It sounds like you might be overlapping
two needs -- a structure for maintaining source and/or making edits, and
some kind of aggregated view necessary for the consumer of that source
(e.g. a tool chain or app)? If so, I would segregate the functions; that
is, do editing with a working copy that models the repository tree, and
only "aggregate" the files when necessary for the tool (presumably using
a script to automate). You could even drive the script from svn
properties, or possibly use externals.
