Letting things sleep in a working copy, possibly even one that everyone
can access and modify without any log message, seems like a bad idea.
Version control is also about being able to retrace your steps and also
a bit about allowing others to retrace your steps.

I don't think there is anything clearer than creating a branch (URL-URL
copy), checking out a working copy, doing a few customer-specific
modifications and then committing that with a suitable comment. However,
that means you don't import them into a separate repository but that the
"main" project with all customer-specific live in the same repository.
That way also makes it easier to merge things between branches if you
want to, and it also reduces the amount of storage required, because
copies within a repository are size-optimized using representation sharing.

That said, I'm glad you solved your problem!
