svnsync: Cannot start sync in SVN 1.4

[Michael Craig <mc...@yahoo.com>]

I'm trying to configure SVNSync for the first time. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

1: Created empty repository at location c:\svn_repository_clone
2: Try to init repositories: svnsync init http://localhost:8080/svn_clone http://localhost:8080/svn
3: I recieve the following error:
svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged

I don't understand what this means and what I'm supposed to do about it.

Thanks.

This version is looking very good so far!

Mike

Mike,

you need to enable the pre-revprop-change hook script in your clone 
repository. You can find out more about hook scripts in the book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.create.hooks

I couldn't find a decent 'official' manual of svnsync, but maybe this 
guy's blog can help you:
http://journal.paul.querna.org/articles/2006/09/14/using-svnsync

hope this helps,

Lieven.
