If I understand you right you need to have the sources of both companies
at each location. Do you need to have write access to the foreign
sources? In this case I would suggest to access the foreign repository
directly via client/server. You should avoid to have two independent
copies of one repository with full write access. Sooner or later this will
lead to unresolvable conflicts.
I you only need to have read access to the foreign repository I would
suggest the following:
- Export the foreign sources at the foreing repository and import them
into yours as a vendor branch.
- Or Use CvsUp. This is a general mirroring tool with special support
for CVS repositories. It's part of FreeBSD, but also available for Linux.
Look at http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/
