i would not say that's impossible, but if it's possible (through
incremental dumps and loads) it
would be at the very least tricky and time consuming.
if you really need to share a project on separate locations on with
separate central servers, i'd
try a DVCS system. if you want to use svn it'd be possible to merge
using git-svn or bzr-svn.
