This isn't *too* much of a problem in the current implementation, since assuming
both repositories aren't brand new, if you get it backwards you'll just get an
error message saying that the destination repository already has content in it.
(On the other hand, if we ever wanted to extend svnsync to work in cases where
the repository already has content (say, to allow svk-style mirrored subtrees)
this argument wouldn't hold. But that's not now.)
By the way, I hesitate to post yet another patch since you might be about to
rewrite the command anyway, but I missed one constraint in documenting svnsync
init: the source also has to be a repository root.
