Vendor branches/fork

Hello all, I'm kinda at an impass right now trying to figure out the best way to proceed.

I would like to customize some software for my own purposes that is hosted by google code, and I am not a developer of that software.

I am trying to figure out the best way to "fork" their code and make my own modifications. More importantly, I would like to be able to sync up to the upstream code without major effort.

I thought that, looking at the handbook, a vendor branch would be the way to go, but I only have read-only access to the repository, and it seems that svn import needs that.

So, is there a svn way to do what I am looking for? I'd really like to avoid having to create a patch, revert changes, update, apply the patch, and reconcile every time I want to update the with the upstream.

Thanks in advance!
