Hi Geir,
No, this patch has not yet been applied to SVN trunk. I have been
working with some of the Subversion devs (Daniel Shahaf, Gavin, and
Julian) to fix this problem in a series of commits. We are currently
working on a patch to libsvn_subr-1 upon which my svnsync patch
depends, and it is very close to being applied to trunk, but hasn't
been committed yet. I suspect that when all is said and done, the
version of Subversion that will contain the patch will be in the 1.7.x
series.
In the meantime, the way that I got past the issue with syncing the
GNU Nano repository was to compile Subversion with the above patch
(the one that always recodes revprops into ISO-8859-1), use the
newly-compiled `svnsync` to sync the repository, revert to a standard
build of `svnsync`, and use `svnsync copy-revprops` to "go back" and
fix the revprops of revisions that really use UTF-8. The idea here is
to pick an encoding (ISO-8859-1) that is partially compatible with
UTF-8 and in which any sequence of bytes is a "valid" string in that
encoding. After syncing the entire repository in that encoding, any
revprops that are encoded in UTF-8 will be incorrect. But, after
identifying specific revisions or ranges of revisions where revprops
are encoded in UTF-8, you "go back" and use the standard `svnsync
copy-revprops` for each of these revisions to correct them.
Hope that helps,
Danny
