Yey!

The above svnsync command was added to the appropriate post-commit hook and a 
similar command to post-revprop-change on svn.slf4j.org.

I noticed that a request made to http://svn-mirror.slf4j.org/repos/ gets 
redirected to http://svn-mirror.slf4j.org:81/repos/  Is that an issue?

Given that now there is a dependency between svn and svn-mirror via the commit 
hook, I wonder what will happen if svn-mirror is down or disappears. How 
reliable would you say that the machine hosting svn-mirror is? (I obviously 
don't expect 99.99% availability, and just a rough estimate would do.)

There was indeed a DNS problem which has been fixed.

Anyway, I am going to test the svn mirror with a new commit, just after sending 
this message.
