I don't see how this is a problem. The command normally used for 
importing  patches (`patch`) is not part of Subversion, it's part 
of the GNU project [1]. It shouldn't care about revision numbers 
or other annotations. It doesn't even know it's working on a SVN
repository. It's all just files :-).
