Basically, committing directly to a mirrored path destroys the svk  
mirror "magic" -- What you've done is to make a change to your local  
clone of the mirrored path. Such that it no longer is an exact replica  
of the mirror.  I've just gone and created a bug in our internal bug  
tracker to get svk to automatically create a "pre-commit" hook to stop  
others from experiencing this pain in the future.

If you do an svk log //local  , do you see your commits from tsvn?
