Not yet

mgarepo up

You can use "mgarepo upload /path/to/new/tarball.tar.gz"
It will upload the tarball to binrepos, and update the sha1 file.
Though, you still have to svn rm the old tarball (for example from your
SOURCES-bin local checkout).

The low level commands for "mgarepo upload file" are basically doing svn
add in your SOURCES-bin and rebuilding the SOURCES/sha1.lst

mgarepo sync is not yet functional with binrepos.
