Currently, SF is the master.

However, as I understand it key Axiom developers are having trouble
checking out from that repo, and probably checking in.  I, personally,
don't experience any _check-in_ problem, nor any _update_.  But I did
experience the checkout (not update, but checkout of entire branches)
problem using bare SVN from SF's own machines and some of the machines
I have at work.  I know my students reported several checkout
failures, so I end up putting the tarball on my web site. 

I use SVK for work, so I can convince it to relocate the repo assuming
Google's and SF's are in perfect sync.  But, of course the truly
egocentric way for me to go would be to suggest SF :-)
I'm not familiar with Google's setting.  What I do appreciate about SF
is the ability to have an admin shell, which truly is handy.  That is
my real argument for making SF repo the master.  I don't see how that
solves Tim's issue.  Now, I'm starting seeing the value of the master
repo being at axiom-developer.org ;-)
