+ Using a Subversion mirror
+
+ There is a serious disadvantage to this method: every
+ time something is to be committed, a
+ svn relocate to the master repository has
+ to be done, remembering to svn relocate
+ back to the mirror after the commit. Also, since
+ svn relocate only works between
+ repositories that have the same UUID, some hacking of the

+ Checkout From a Mirror
+
+ Check out a working copy from a mirror by
+ substituting the mirror's URL for
+ svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/base. This
+ can be an official mirror or a mirror maintained by using
+ svnsync.

+ Setting up a <application>svnsync</application>
+ Mirror
+
+ Avoid setting up a svnsync
+ mirror unless there is a very good reason for it. Most
+ of the time a git mirror is a better
+ alternative. Starting a fresh mirror from scratch takes
+ a long time.
+ Expect a minimum of 10 hours for high speed connectivity.
+ If international links are involved, expect this to take
+ four to ten times longer.
+
+ One way to limit the time required is to grab a seed file.
+ It is large
+ (~1GB) but will consume less network traffic and take less
+ time to fetch than svnsync will.
+
+ Extract the file and update it:
+
+ &prompt.user; tar xf svnmirror-base-r261170.tar.xz
+&prompt.user; svnsync sync file:///home/svnmirror/base
+
+ Now, set that up to run from &man.cron.8;, do
+ checkouts locally, set up a svnserve server for local
+ machines to talk to, etc.
+
+ The seed mirror is set to fetch from
+ svn://svn.freebsd.org/base. The
+ configuration for the mirror is stored in
+ revprop 0 on the local mirror. To see
+ the configuration, try:
+
+ &prompt.user; svn proplist -v --revprop -r 0 file:///home/svnmirror/base
+
+ Use svn propset to change things.
