It's an independent mirror, and I wouldn't recommend switching to it yet.

There are permissions problems, and I might end up rsyncing the whole
infradead repository rather than fixing things locally.

Please please do *not* rsync the infradead repository. The repository on gcc.gnu.org is set up so that I can switch back and forth between pulling from git and using git-svn directly; the infradead repository is not.

For one thing, the infradead repository uses svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc, which makes it impossible to use git-svn to check in changes; the gcc.gnu.org git repository uses svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc, as is right and proper. Also the remotes are in a different place from where git-svn puts them, though I suppose that's easy enough to adjust when fetching.
