I'm not sure I understand everything you're trying to do (the remote
repository stuff is a little ambiguous), but it sounds like you want there
to be a controlled release process. Since the sensitive destinations are
under a common folder (/mirrored/live/), I would suggest considering the use
of authz to restrict who can commit to that part of the repository and using
a special script (invoked from, say, a web page) that performs a copy from
/mirrored/staged/ once the required conditions are met. That script could
also enforce a naming convention and use the credentials of the only user
allowed to commit to that area.
