Alex,

Basically any dealing with mirrored paths with a non-svk tool (i.e. svn)
is going to cause issues due to some internal properties that svk uses.
But as svk keeps a lot of its metadata on various properties on
files/dirs in the svn repos, you can usually fix it up manually with not
too much effort.

I would imagine for fixing up what you did, you'd want to do a 

svk propedit svm:mirror /pub/ (or whatever depot you are using)

And remove the appropriate line. (It should have a list of mirrors)

Hope that helps,
Andy
