Ryan,

Thx

Looks like SVK has to be selected for option #2.

Thx

No, it does not. svnsync lets you make read-only mirrors of a
repository, not read-write mirrors which seems to be what you want.  
svnsync is also not ideal even if you want to be able to conduct read-
only operations on the mirror and then check in to the master.  
svnsync is only really appropriate if you want to have read-only mirrors
that will only be accessed by people who will only read, never write.
