I guess I was thinking that some sort of daemon or post-commit hook
would take care of updating the common area. The real tricky part is
handling mixed revisions and branches.

I guess this would help incrementally depending on the type of data, but
it doesn't help with duplication of the actual data.
Guess I'm looking at something that is pretty far removed from svn's use
model (again). It was a shot in the dark - thanks for the response!
