I think it's reasonable to have this command in the FAQ. (It's not
documented in the book or the FAQ.) Could you write the FAQ entry and
submit it as a patch against the FAQ source (faq.html in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/www)?

Never mind, Chinese names seem strange for English-speaking people,
but you need s/You'd better not/Do not/ in svnsync.txt, not /Don't not/ :-)
Thank you for committing that little patch and Michael for adding
that to svnbook!

Originally I suggested to add it to the FAQ because I thought that
question should be answered by Subversion's own documentation (by which
I include the book), not just by random blog pages around the Web.
Since the setup instructions are in the book, I don't think it's also
necessary to duplicate the information in the FAQ; everyone is going to
go through the book anyway :)
Or not. We also have setup instructions in notes/svnsync.txt -- and
that document doesn't mention svn:sync-from-url at all. Therefore,
I committed Lin's patch in r31611 to notes/svnsync.txt.

Is it "frequently asked"? :-)
Seriously, our FAQ isn't a one-stop-shop for every question ever asked and
answered. That's what mailing list archives and Google are for. But if we
think this is the kind of question many folks are going to have -- or better
yet, have already had -- the FAQ is a fine place to record the answer.

Saw that -- I grepped the book sources before I said that changing the
sync source wasn't documented.

Mike, do you think this should be documented in the FAQ as well, or only
in the book? Lin already sent a patch for that. (Thanks!)

The book actually does document svnsync's bookkeeping properties to some
extent -- see the sidebar at the end of the "Repository Replication"[1]
section. But while it mentions svn:sync-from-url, it doesn't explicitly
provide an example of changing it. I've added such an example just now.
