At my work we starting to solve this problem using Subversion´s external folders. You just need to put a 'external' property on yor root folder (or any folder), like:

When you update the project, the folder ExternalLib will be created and populated with the repo´s contents. Any commit will be reflected on the respectively repo.

So, you can make your back-up hack solution works with SVN too =)
