[Gnu-arch-users] Pull / Push based Mirror

[John F Meinel Jr]

I've been playing around with getting my archive mirrored in a couple of 
places, and I was trying to figure out when you would want to create a 
"pull" based mirror versus a "push" based one.

So far, the only difference I can see is that if you create a "pull" you 
have to register the original archive as <archive>-SOURCE, and then you 
reference the local one as <archive>, while a "push" based archive, you 
register the original as <archive>, and then the local one is referenced 
as <archive>-MIRROR.

Since you can't commit to a mirror anyway, what is the advantage?
