Not at this time.  I did all of my testing with RHN Satellite, trying to 
find the common denominator between the two.  spacewalk-repo-sync is not 
currently included with Satellite so I didn't spend any time on it.

You would still need the admin user/password in order to create 
channels, populate rpms, and subscribe clients.

The latest version does this now.  I'm also looking at adding an option 
like "--auto" that will only build channels for systems that are 
registered with the server.

Disk space really shouldn't be a concern.  It is around 330MB for the 
entire set of repos, and around 290MB for only one repo.  You can remove 
the local repo if you need, just call the script with --no-rsync after 
initial setup.
