This is good: I know that SVK is designed to easily mirror SVN
repositories... and it's nice to know that also keyword expansion is not
a problem.

By the way, I've updated the Wiki page with the standard Vendor Branch
strategy for SVN (no SVK) and I did a few tests, now it seems to work:

Anyone can help me to answer the BIG QUESTION at the bottom of the page?
Also any review is welcome!

Thanks,

Jacopo
