+
+You can use "mgarepo upload /path/to/new/tarball.tar.gz"
+It will upload the tarball to binrepos, and update the sha1 file.
+Though, you still have to svn rm the old tarball (for example from your
+SOURCES-bin local checkout).
+
+The low level commands for "mgarepo upload file" are basically doing svn
+add in your SOURCES-bin and rebuilding the SOURCES/sha1.lst
+
+mgarepo sync is not yet functional with binrepos.
