No, it does not. svnsync lets you make read-only mirrors of a
repository, not read-write mirrors which seems to be what you want.
svnsync is also not ideal even if you want to be able to conduct read-
only operations on the mirror and then check in to the master.
svnsync is only really appropriate if you want to have read-only
mirrors that will only be accessed by people who will only read,
never write.
