I came to know about --mirror option of git-clone and used it to make
a bare repository replica of the MainRep. Now i am not sure how to
keep it in sync with the MainRep.

$ git fetch

as it is bare you cannot merge, so you cannot pull.

HTH,

Here is what i get when i try to use git-fetch:

# git fetch
ssh: : Name or service not known
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Following is the current content of my config file:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = ssh://gituser@<addr removed>
        fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
        mirror = yes

I also tried git-fetch with the url as argument but that also gave the
same error. Do i need to do some additional configurations to make
fetch work?

Thanks
