That's actually atypical. Since you can't easily merge across depots,  
the standard convention is to have // be a deopt and
to mirror to //mirror/foo and make local branches in //local/foo

svk mirror http://svn.maul-theet.de/Bruel%20and%20Kjaer //mirror/BK
svk sync //mirror/BK (without the -s HEAD)

what happens?
