There isn't anything prescribed; feel free to use whatever works for
you. There are any number of patch management tools out there that
could make your life easier.

If you feel enthused enough to set up a SVK repository, feel free, but
the first task that is required is updating the branch to follow the
latest changes in trunk. This isn't really a task that can be
effectively shared amongst many developers so I'm not sure that an SVK
repository will help.

However, providing a series of patches that bring the a stale branch
up to date (and multi-db is _quite_stale) is one very convincing way
to demonstrate that you are serious and capable. Combine that with one
or two non-trivial additional bugfixes, and you will have met the
criteria for getting SVN access.

Yours,
