Thanks for this, but it won't help much in this case.
Basically, I'd like to prepare a working copy for a system that will do
the final svn update and over which I have no control. As a result, I'd
like to avoid, if possible, that this final update does nothing.
It seems it's not possible easily however, so I guess I'll have to live
with that useless update...
