Will there be bidirectional synchronization?
Yes and No. From a git (rather git pubsub) perspective yes both the repos allow writes and they synchronize with post commit hooks. But we should avoid writing to both since there could be code conflicts and the commits (reactionary to hooks) could fail which will need manual intervention to clear the clutter. So its better to pick one repo as the primary write and the other one only when primary one is unavailable. Suresh
