I tried that, but it is still racy. The problem is you need to know the end of 
the mirror (which might take a long time, if the change is large), not the 
start.

I'd prefer to check the error, and if it looks like: "svn: No such revision", 
then do a back-off type approach.  All of this makes me wonder if using the 
svn bindings might not be easier than the command line approach...
