Hi Dongsheng,

On the command-line, "--revision" is an option rather than an argument.

Unlike other svn commands, svnsync allows a revision number or range
as a normal argument (without --revision). A source comment near that
line says

[[[
  This is the old "... TO_URL REV[:REV2]" syntax.
]]]

HTH,

Steve
