Go with Thorsten Schöning's svn:externals solution. If you can't use svn:externals then you'll most likely need to merge, which requires a workspace and runs the risk of merge conflicts, which tends to preclude automation. Either way, be careful that you're not trying to replace a complicated workflow/process with overly simplistic automation, i.e. don't replace merging or a formal delivery process with mindless automated commit replication.
