Piston is a utility that eases vendor branch management. This is similar to svn:externals, except you have a local copy of the files, which you can modify at will. As long as the changes are mergeable, you should have no problems.

It is an exciting time for Subversion as its adoption continues at a dizzying pace in enterprises. I'm out there helping that adoption so I'm a bit late in posting the questions and answers I promised around the three basic branching strategies that I covered in the last two webinars in which I presented (Branching and Merging Strategies for Subversion 1.5 and Advanced Merge Tracking and Branching with Subversion 1.5). Hopefully these will be useful to many of you.

Subversion™ is the fastest growing version control system for distributed development teams and its rapid adoption is a phenomenon in small and large organizations. Recently evaluated to be the Sole Leader among Standalone SCM Solutions by Forrester Research, it is taking the developer world by storm. During this webcast, you will learn about the exciting new features coming out in the next release, Subversion 1.5, including merge tracking. Learn how to implement branching strategies that best fit your organization, and utilize merge tracking functionality to integrate changes. Learn from real life examples of branching and merging, so that you can accelerate development within your enterprise using Subversion’s new features.

Branching and merging is more complicated than simply making changes to a single line of development. But once you establish some patterns, and get in the habit of working with branches, it is not difficult. They are powerful tools that let you be more thoughtful in what code gets put where, and how many developers have to deal with any given set of changes.
