You should take a look at SVK instead:

        http://svk.bestpractical.com

which is a Subversion client on steroids. In particular, it allows you to
create a local mirror of some other repository and then maintain a local branch
of that repo. Typically, merging the upstream changes is as simple as:

        $ svk pull

from within a checkout of your local branch.

Since you are maintaining a long-term branch of a public repository, it will be
much much much easier to use SVK to simply keep a local mirror and merge the
upstream changes with your code on a regular basis.
