Would it make sense to use svn:externals, and then add a read-only
link to ZODB using a svn:// url to some tag or branch instead? Then this kind 
of mistake typically wouldn't happen, as you'd only have a writeable
checkout if you checked out ZODB explicitly.

I understood from Jim the 'stitching in by copying' process was to support
doing local changes, but now you seem to want to avoid them, so it gets 
somewhat confusing.
