Thanks for your answer.
I understand your analysis. That was the conclusion i had reached, but
without being sure. It seems that it is discussed as well in the issue 971:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=971
But in an article here, http://subversion.tigris.org/webdav-usage.html,
it is said that /Subversion will work great with caching proxies.
/Is this a mistake ?

That's exactly what we want to setup: a read-only mirror repository. Any
commit or command that could modify the repository would go through the
proxy.
