Re: Hooks behaviour with svnsync

I'll use bad, yet convenient top-posting...

I run svnsync as me ('rz'), but I thought that '--sync-username svnsync'
will impersonate svnsync to the 'svnsync' user. This is actually what
the mentioned article says between the lines, but obviously it is not
the case.

The closest I can get is to make svnsync impersonate as 'svnsync' user
this way:

- $SVNSYNC synchronize svn+ssh://MIRROR_REPO --source-username
svnsync --sync-username svnsync &
+ $SVNSYNC synchronize svn+ssh://svnsync@MIRROR_REPO &

Otherwise pre-revprop-change exits 1 for every user bar 'svnsync',
including me. And yes, I printed $3 out from pre-revprop-change and
it's me ('rz'). start-commit is not even executed. All processes
(svnsync => svnserve -t) are, too, owned by me.

The question is what is the purpose of these useless switches then?
