Thanks for your reply! I created a fresh reposB to sync from scratch
yesterday, it took about one hour.
The down time isn't a problem here because it's an internal Subversion
service in our company, I can shutdown the Apache service after work.
The problem is I need a secure encrypted connection between reposA and
reposB but I can't change the source url in reposB belonged to svnsync,
so I have no choice but to synchronize from scratch.
Luckily, the reposA isn't too big but it's really not convenient that
svnsync doesn't have a "relocate" sub command.
Best regards,
Liu Yubao
