Yes.  Savannah's repositories allow hooks.  There is no automated
mechanism for installing them however.  Please simply ask the Savannah
Hacker team to install them.  We are happy to do so.

Same thing.  We are happy to do whatever makes sense.  There are a
handful of projects with cron jobs to sync (some by rsync, some by
other sync'ing methods) their repositories.

I assume that question isn't about just doing it by cron though
because any party can mirror using cron.  I am guessing the real
question is can it be done in a hook so that most of the time (when it
doesn't fail for some reason) that it will be event driven and
immediately available in the mirror.
