Most of the files match up; its a large project that apparently does a
lot of code reorganizations.

Ah. Internally here we're using Apache to serve subversion; whereas
MPlayer uses svnserve. So I started a svnserve on our server. It gets
through several hundred deletes and updates, but dies on a copy:
svn: Copyfrom-url
'svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/tags/MPlayer1.0-rc2/libmpcodecs/native/mmx.h'
has different repository root than 'svn://svn/svnroot'

No externals.

No, it isn't, though the part of our repository in question is just a
simple svn import of the MPlayer sources.
