You mean that you working with two Subversion servers and need to mirror
changes from one to another?
Then, please, read svnbook (http://svnbook.org) first and foremost, then use
proper tools for proper tasks.

This all absolutely unnecessary. If not meaningless. Subversion already offers
a way to ease your life and save brain, but you seem to like to waste both of
it...
Especially, read about commands switch, copy, merge of svn utility.
