Wrong. I don't have to. It's a brand new repository, remember?

Wrong. Have you at least tested that? I did, and it works. I can do
checkouts from it.

I know it, and I'm not doing that. You have not noticed that I'm
working with *only one* local repository through svnserve; the other
one is being served from another machine through a different network
protocol.

How do you know it? That was the first thing I did after creating the
repository! (although it's not among the steps I described -- my
fault).

The information provided with Subversion doesn't mention a case where
the source repository requires authentication. There are --username
and --password switches; I provided them to svnsync but they didn't
solve the problem. Seems to me that they are valid only for the
destination repository (I'm not sure). By the way, I have read the
whole book an year ago.

The same advice is already in the notes file for svnserve.

Célio.
