svnsync only reads the repository through the svn repository changes.
The upstream repository has no direct way to *publish* the contents of
its own hook scripts: in some ways, it's like trying to operate on
your own hand.

svnsync is a very useful tool, but it's designed for mirrored clients,
not for complete repositories. For complete repositories, you need to
work with something that can access the file system based
underpinnings of the original repository, such as 'svnadmin hotcopy'
or rsync.
