The mirroring provided by svnsync isn't for high-availability,
really. It lets you create multiple read-only repositories, but you
still have only the one main repository to which you can write. And
if you've checked out from a read-only mirror, and then want to
commit something to the main repository, you have to jump through
hoops as well.

svnsync is really most useful if you have a project with a few
developers and many many read-only consumers who would be well served
by having their own read-only repository from which they can get your
product, without impacting the developers working on the main read/
write repository.
