If they do, then you are doing the mirroring wrong:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.replication

 As far as user interaction with repositories and mirrors goes, it is
 possible to have a single working copy that interacts with both, but
 you'll have to jump through some hoops to make it happen. First, you
 need to ensure that both the primary and mirror repositories have the
 same repository UUID (which is not the case by default). See the section
 called "Managing Repository UUIDs" later in this chapter for more about
 this.

So if people have working copies from the master, and you want them to be
able to merge from mirrors into these working copies, make sure the mirrors
have the same UUID as the master.
