Yes, bootstrapping should not be a big deal: keep in mind that, in
general, at bootstrap time when tailor find an already existing
working copy of a repo it will use that, ignoring the start-revision
and repository option alltogether.

But the problem of two-way sync is not at bootstrap time: it's not
enterely clear what should happen when the patch applied on repo B
goes to A and then reaches B again...
