Thomas suggested using symlinks in the svn directory? 

 From his email: e.g. 
mysql/trunk
mysql/repos/mysql/extra-{i686,x86_64}
mysql/repos/mysql-clients/extra-{i686,x86_64}
mysql/repos/mysql-libs/extra-{i686,x86_64}
mysql-clients -> mysql
mysql-libs -> mysql

That should solve most of the trouble here.
