Yes, it takes very long time, few hours before I interrupted it. Plus,
I am not sure I was following correct steps. Would it be possible to
updatw svkhelp page on wiki to list all the steps required to set up a
svk mirror using one or both of these tar.rz files ? Thank you.

My plan is to set up read only mirror (using svn://gcc.gnu.org/...). I
do not know if it will work or not.

I have not figured this out, so I also want to know this. One
additional open question for me,

 - how to keep local branches on two machines in sync with each other ?

Thanks,
