svnsync and changing permissions

I recently started use svnsync to maintain a mirror of a repository where I
do not have read permission for everything. Occasionally new subdirectories
are added to the repository and if necessary I am granted read access. Since
access is usually granted *after* the directory is created, it throws
svnsync for a loop.

Apart from changing the policy regarding how access/permission is granted,
how can I solve this problem?

It seems like I could dump from my mirror up until the creation of the
directory, then recreate the mirror using the dumpfile and sync. However,
I'm not sure if this work because it seems like the mirror uses rev 0 to
keep track of the most recently synced revision. In the case of access being
granted several (hundred or thousand) revisions after the directory being
added, even if this worked it seems like there should be a more efficient
way to do this, although its probably not currently implemented (like
"resyncing" starting at a specified revision).
