First of all, there was not proper response to my suggestion

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-09/msg00138.html

of how to deal with the "binary" file problem that we have in the 
sourceforge repository. I think we should solve that BEFORE the data is 
moved to google code.

Where are the SVN experts???

Hmmm, but SVN has a way to run a script if someone says "svn commit". 
Couldn't that be used to send the patches from one server to the other?
I have however no idea whether google or sf allows to run such scripts 
at commit time. Anybody more familiar with that?

On the other hand it seems that SVK could be tricked to do the 
syncronization job. Gaby what are your experiences with that?
Isn't SVK creating a copy of the SVN repository locally (also as an SVN 
repository)?

And don't forget to update http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AxiomSources
appropriately, once the "mirror" is working.
