I haven't used svnsync myself, but I thought the point was that
anybody can update the master, but it's rigged so that only the
svnsync process can write to the slaves, and this is a Very Good
Thing because if just anybody could write to the slave, everything
would explode when they do, because then the slave would contain
information the master doesn't, and future synced revision numbers
would be off, and so on. So you should not set this up differently.
If you think you should set it up differently, please explain your
use case.

On Unix, the script should read
#!/bin/sh
USER="$3"
if [ "$USER" = "svnsync" ]; then exit 0; fi
echo "Only the svnsync user can change revprops" >&2
exit 1
You'll have to convert that to the equivalent batch script for Windows.

I'm having trouble finding definitive documentation so I'm not sure
what, if anything, needs to go in your start-commit hook.

I think you need this instead:
svnsync copy-revprops <Mirror Repository Location> <Revision>

> svnsync synchronize <Mirror Repository Location>
As I understand it that should be ok.
