A problem with the mirror is that it makes the $URL keyword of SVN no longer unique. I noticed that while auditing the newest 1.4.5 release. My local checkout
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/jackrabbit-core-1.4.5 has "normal" svn.apache.org URLs in the files that use the keyword, for example http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/jackrabbit-core-1.4.5/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/persistence/bundle/util/TrackingInputStream.java whereas the source package from http://people.apache.org/~jukka/jackrabbit/jackrabbit-core-1.4.5/source/jackrabbit-core-1.4.5-src.jar has different keywords, probably because Jukka used the mirror in his latest 1.4.5 checkouts/commits: http://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/jackrabbit-core-1.4.5/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/persistence/bundle/util/TrackingInputStream.java Do we have to live with that little annoyance or is there a workaround (that still lets people use the mirror)?
