[svk-devel] Using SVN client on an SVK repository

[Pavan Balaji]

Jesse,

Sorry, I was tied down with other things and just got to trying out your 
suggestion -- it works like a charm! :-). Thanks.

Btw, in case I want to allow some of the SLAVE repositories to be able to 
do both "pull" and "push" of updates, will that be possible too, or am I 
getting too greedy? :-). I tried creating an SVK mirror of an SVN 
repository, modifying it with SVN and doing an "SVK sync", but that failed 
with an error as follows:

#pavan# /home/balaji/tmp> svk sync //paramedic
no headrev at /usr/share/perl5/SVN/Mirror/Ra.pm line 159.

Thanks.
