I definitely against this, this will cause merges, and if rock becomes 
more widely used it will be terrible to merge local and remote ones.
So i suggest the other way around, using the local mirror only as and 
synced gitorious one. In this scenario only local merges could occur and 
have to solved by the user, without administrator.

Sync-Way:

Client -> Gitorious
Gitorious -> mirror (on hourly/daily sync)

If 2 people work on the same package and push only to gitorious, the 
should update from-gitorious, or even if the push fail merge manually 
locally.
In this scenario the local mirror can delete in case of problems, and 
need no manual administration.
