Pretty much. There isn't a hierarchy except by convention, though.
Any repository can be "resync"ed against another repository (as long
as they came from the same base) and it has a really spiffy conflict
resolution algorithm. Resyncs can indeed go by e-mail.
I certainly hope a future version of Subversion clones all of that
functionality, it makes all sorts of uses so much easier.
