I read about success with a central Subversion 1.4+ repository, and
several 1.5+(trunk) repository mirrors, using some form of WebDAV
reverse-proxy support in 1.5+. The idea is that all checkout/update
(read) operations come from the closest mirror, and that mirror uses a
reverse proxy setup to forward all commit (write) operations to a
single central repository. The central repository has a post-commit
hook script that svnsync's changes to all mirror repositories, after
any successful commit. This could be used for read load balancing,
where another non-mirror reverse proxy is set up, to direct all
requests to many mirror servers. Write load balancing and
high-availability is still impossible for commit operations using
svnsync, since a single node is still responsible for all accepting
all commits. Sorry that I don't have a mailing list archive link for
you. Googling "reverse proxy subversion 1.5 svnsync" may get you there
faster than the mailing list archive search.
There is also SVK, which uses the perl component SVN::Mirror to
"sync" a remote svn repository to a local one, or vice versa. I'm in
the process of writing post-commit hook scripts using SVK calls, to
automate mirror backups to remote servers. I may just use svnsync
instead, if I can get all the repositories involved upgraded to
version 1.4+, but I kind of like the idea of setting up a series of
automated SVK mirror commit-hook scripts, to sync changes up and down
an arbitrary tree of SVN repositories. :)
