Setting up svnsync

Now that I have my svnserve services running, it's time to setup svnsync. Here's the steps I followed:

• Begin with a blank, copy repository
  
• Created a user to be used for the synch process (svnsync)
  
• User has read permissions on original repository
• User has r/w on the copy repository
• I had to create a pre-revprop-change.bat file. This was a bit of a pain, as I've written very few DOS scripts, and the templates provided were unix shell scripts. I finally sludged my way through it and ended up with the following, incredibly basic implementation:
  

IF %3==svnsync exit 0
ELSE (
echo "Only the svnsync user can change revprops"
exit 1
)

• I then needed to initialize the sync, with the following command:
• svnsync init --username svnsync svn://copyRepository:port svn://originalRepository:port
• Finally, I executed a sync
• svnsync sync svn://copyRepository:port

I browsed the copyRepository with tortoise and it was in synch with originalRepository.
