Ryan: Thanks for the link, svk looks interesting. Unfortunately this is
not realistically an option if I would have to change the repo at work
since more people than just myself use this and it just wouldn't be
possible to change repos (not to mention losing 15000 revisions which
wouldn't go down well)
Lawrence: That is a good idea! I would most certainly do this if I
wanted the whole repo to be the same as the other, but I only want to
mirror part of it. I guess a script could use the repo path to decide
whether to commit to the other repo. The downside is I'd have to open up
my own repo which is a little risky. At the moment it's only accessible
via an ssh tunnel on a high port with access only via a strongly
encrypted pub/priv key pair, I'll bear this in mind, but I just can't
think of leaving an unencrypted key into my home on a server at work....
Perhaps I'll just have to periodically copy things over.... oh the
drudge of doing anything manually (gotta get a computer that writes
without me typing I guess... voice activated? too much vocal work. now
mentally activated I can dig... :-) )
