Yes. The mirror is listening for commit notification messages and will
automatically update itself whenever it sees commons-cli commits. The
delay is typically just a few seconds.

That's also possible, though the instructions [1] are still a bit
sketchy. With that setup it's even possible to commit directly to the
Subversion repository from your Git clone!

As mentioned by others, we'd love to see suggestions (better yet,
patches) of improvements on the infrastructure-dev@ mailing list or in
the INFRA Jira under the Git component.
