svnsync slave - read only - now and forever?

[Edward Ned Harvey <ed...@patni.com>]

As I understand it, the slave server must remain read-only, because as soon as any change is committed to the slave, it cannot follow the master anymore.

Is there anything I'm missing?  Is there any plan to ever change this?

I have some users who would like to two-way live replicate a pair of server mirrors.  So users at both sites could have LAN speeds and reliability.

As of 1.5, Subversion supports write-through proxies. You'll still
have a master/slave, but users who check out from the slave can check
back in & the commit is passed back to the master.

It's not exactly a 2-way live replication (there are products like
WANDisco you can buy which can do it, I believe), but it's not bad.
