Well, here's the question:

svk cp //mirror/project/trunk //local/project/branch
svk co //local/project/branch
svk pull

svk cp //mirror/project/trunk //mirror/project/branch
svk co //mirror/project/branch
svk pull

The fact that one branch happens to be stored locally and the other
happens to be stored on a server doesn't say to me that "pull to the
branch" should be different in the two cases.

On the other hand, people certainly do get bitten by "svk pull makes a
merge happen from a totally unexpected copy, on the server".
