I'd have been tempted to solve the problem through include_path magic -
i.e. have an svn:externals which points to the common code used by all
sites. Then have a 'local changes' dir, which is before the
svn:externals link in the include path... so if you effectively have a
subset of the common files locally which contain changes.

Failing that, you could do something like OXIDCart - whether this is a
good idea or not is a different matter - see e.g.
