Subversion 1.4 - sync Version question (fairly urgent)
Hi guys,
I just read the ReleaseNotes for v1.4:
"/Compatibility note/: in order to "push" information into a destination
repository, any version of the server will suffice. The pushing is done
through ordinary network commits. To "pull" history from the source
repository, however, requires a 1.4 (or later) server."
Okay, for "push" I guess it is like this:
1. <v1.4 --push--> <v1.4 OK
2. <v1.4 --push--> v1.4 OK
3. v1.4 --push--> <v1.4 OK
but in which version-constellation(!) is "pull" possible?
4. <v1.4 <--pull-- <v1.4 NOT POSSIBLE, I assume
5. <v1.4 <--pull-- v1.4 ??? (meaning the v1.4 is doing the pulling)
6. v1.4 <--pull-- <v1.4 ??? (meaning the <v1.4 is doing the pulling)
Please enlighten me.
Best regards,
Tom

This push/pull wording is indead confusing, since it's actually
svnsync that pulls information from the source server and pushes
it onto the destination server.
To clarify:
You can use any subversion server as the destination (since svnsync
does simple commits and revprop changes on the destination server),
but the source server needs to be >= 1.4 since svnsync uses special
APIs to retrieve the information.
Kind regards
Sven
