I work similarly, but use SVK as my local system. 

If you start using SVK, don't try doing an 'svk mirror svn://...' as it
will try to download several GB of historical data. In theory the 'svk
sync --skipto ...' should avoid this but it fails (I think the OSM SVN
server is a little too old to support the relevant protocol options).
