3) the "upstream repository" can really be the same repository.
you can use svn:extenals to re-organize a part of the repository to fit 
your special needs (e.g. have a flat hierarchy for easy-built in 
pd-extended)

(you can also do this with "symlinks" (on an svn-level), but i think 
this makes things more complicated (e.g. you must have checked out the 
entire tree on filesystems that support symlinks))
