If the mirror is read-only then you can use a dump/restore hook script.
#!/bin/sh
#
# this is /repos/hooks/post-commit
#
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
RREV=`/usr/local/bin/ssh -i /var/svn/conf/id_dsa.svnyoung
svn@remotehost`
RREV=`echo $RREV 1 + p | dc`
/usr/local/bin/svnadmin dump --incremental -r${RREV}:${REV} ${REPOS} |
\
/usr/local/bin/ssh -i /var/svn/conf/id_dsa.svnmirror
svn@remotehost
The two DSA keys invoke commands on the remote server via the magic of
~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
command="/usr/local/bin/svnlook youngest /var/svn" ssh-dss
DSA-KEY-HERE
command="/usr/local/bin/svnadmin load /var/svn" ssh-dss DSA-KEY-HERE
Commits on the mirror can foul things up. You can prevent commits on the
mirror by adding a dummy hook script.
#!/bin/sh
#
# this is /repos/hooks/start-commit
#
exit 1 # always fail
NB: If the DSA keys are too much then you can just put those two
commands
in the post-commit hook script instead.
