I'm not sure whether this would be technically feasible or not, but does
anyone know if it is possible to install a hook (post-commit?) at each
repository that, after a successful commit, performed a commit to the
other repository? Assuming there's only ever work occurrng at one
repository at any one time, there shouldn't be concurrency issues with
rev numbers changing at the other repo, and it would allow both repos to
remain readable and writeable (as opposed to using svnsync to make one
only readable).

Cheers,
Lawrence
