Svnsync (like any client access) will only take completed transactions
even if other changes are in progress, but rsync just takes a live file
snapshot which might be inconsistent. I've usually trusted it if I
repeat the rsync with the -v option and the second pass does not pick up
any changes - but this is still a matter of timing.
