There were some issues in the svnmir yesterday, the main problem is
identified and fixed, but there are still some loose ends that need to
be fixed.

The reason that the sync status of these three sites are different is
because the mechanisms behind them are slightly different, but of
course the goal is to let them stay up to date.
They still need some adjustments and I hope the situation will get better soon.
