[kepler-dev] Svn back up

Just a thought: what about adding a post-commit hook to automatically
sync the repository whenever a commit happens? Then you won't have to
run svnsync via cronjob (or whatever you use) and it is pretty much
up-to-date all the time.

NB: I've never setup this automatic sync myself, only heard about this
functionality.

Maybe the following links help (from a quick google):
