i have local (fast) mirrors of the svn trees i use, so i normally keep
everything pointing at those.  when i need to commit, i use `svn
switch --relocate ...` to flip to the svn+ssh master, and then flop
back to the local mirror.  it actually works out nicely.

Can useSvmProps handle this?  I honestly forgot how that stuff
was supposed to work with SVK/svn-mirror.

It's precisely this use case.  If you are syncing with SVN::Mirror, part
of SVK, or via svnsync, these tools leave breadcrumbs as svn properties
that point to where the repository was copied from.  So, in your commit
log the message will be the URL of the immediately[*] upstream
repository.  SVN didn't ever really support clone per se, what did you
use to copy the repository?

we publish the raw svn tree via rsync so people can create their own svn mirrors

sounds like it's just easier to mirror the original and since this
isnt a terribly large repo (~50 meg w/out any scm stuff), that's ok
