Developers always update 1st url and svn should be able to sync the 2nd url with the 1st url updates. Is this really possible with svn commands ?(I don't think so). Even if I want to use some cronjob which can do this , there are some hundreds of directories like this which will hectic for me to use a cron job.

If those are working copies of the same place in the same repository, then you can run "svn up" to sync both of them with the server. If these hundreds of directories are all within a common repository parent, you can just "svn up" the parent. If not, you'd have to "svn up" each of them.

You can write a pre-commit hook to prevent that.
