+the only reason i want it on svn; is because that makes it all the more 
+transparent. ie: for users working with svn just means using svn.mageia.org . 
+if it's svn:// or http:// or svn+ssh:// or whatever.
+
+tbh a simple proxypass on a machine that has apache(if indeed it has.) anyway, 
+is not so complicated. with caching on it, it would reduce the load to the svn 
+machine.
+
+perhaps with this setup it would not be needed to have a copy (due to the 
+caching), but i can be wrong.
+
+in any case, keeping simple is the best option, but i think from user pov 
+using svn.mageia.org is just simple for them.
