Oops... forgot the third improvement :-)

The modified version of svnsync that we are using has been taught how to
translate 'https://origsvn' URLs into 'http://svn'. This means that when
developers want to set svn:externals properties, they can use
committable (read-write) URLs, and they will be translated to read-only
URLs when mirrored out to the public servers.

This will make it easier to maintain modules that we use via
svn:externals :-)
