Perhaps that was meant as a joke, but I'd take it quite seriously. I
can't think of any 100% certain way of detecting a "same instance",
short of actually inventing another hidden repository UUID just for
svnsync. I also don't think it's worth the trouble; presumably admins
that do svnsync init sort of know what they're doing. And if they don't,
what real harm can it do?
