Apache proxies commits back to the master. When you are using svnsync
to update the replica it is not going through that proxy. In my case
it using file://, but in the book it uses a special Apache location
that does not proxy. So no, it does not check against the master.

That would be the ideal but it is not true today. I also do not think
svnsync even presents a lock token since there is no working copy
involved to provide the token.
