Hi Michael, 

I just wanted to add a quick clarification (hopefully without it looking like a WANdisco pitch). 

The WANdisco solution is effectively a proxy that sits between the SVN client and the Apache/Subversion server. It listens for any Subversion write commands and replays them in real time to any other servers defined in the same replication group. 

This means we're not reliant on any specific Subversion functionality and we don't actually get involved in the Apache <> Subversion server piece at all. 

We do a weekly online live demo and explain in detail how the solution works. Details are here: http://www.wandisco.com/php/weekly.php

Kind Regards,
