Description
We need to set up a background daemon that polls projects for their "external repo" settings (see #72) via the WS API, and, if an external repo is being tracked, does incremental pulls to the local repo from it. This needs to work for at least remote SVN and Hg repos, and preferably also Git and CVS.

Do we want to convert to the "standard" repository location or create a separate target read-only repository?
- What if we want to move the repository in-house later? Very convenient to have it there already.
- What if user switches from local to tracking remote later? That's not going to work well if we're using the same target repository.

We're going for a separate mirror repo which we pull to from the remote, and then updating the normal repo from that.
