Copying repositories

[Yang Zhang <ya...@gmail.com>]

Hi, is there a way to copy a snapshot svn repo to another one, while 
preserving things like properties, without using svnadmin or otherwise 
having direct filesystem access to either repo?  I don't exactly want to 
mirror the repo with svnsync (I don't need history nor do I want to make 
things read-only).  svn cp only works within the same repos, and svn 
import doesn't get things like properties.

Note that I don't *mind* having history, however, so if it's possible to 
use svnsync to create a copy without making the copy read-only, then I'm 
also interested in hearing how.

Thanks in advance for any help!

It sounds like svnsync is your best option. When you say you don't  
want the repo copy to be read-only, that means you want to be able to  
commit to the repo copy and have those changes propagated back to the  
master repo? If so, then you also need to set up the write-through  
proxy support.
