You should just ignore autoversioning. Sure, you can't change the date
on the transaction created and committed that way, but you don't have
to: we're talking about replicating the revision (including it's
svn:date property) /after/ it has been committed, and I don't see why
you'd want to do that by replaying the actual autoversioning HTTP/DAV
request.

Svnsync shouldn't care how the revision was created, it doesn't even
have to sync using HTTP. And, since you mentioned WANdisco, neither
should their replicator. IIRC, the only way to distinguish an
autoversioning commit from any other commit after the fact is by looking
at the log message (and hoping that someone didn't fake it).
