I wonder if it has anything to do with the ssh authorization method you're
using. I've used svnsync before without any problem, but I never did it
through ssh -- let alone having setup ssh not to require a password (via
Subversion, that is).
It could be, that the mirror Subversion repository, because you're the user
logging into SSH, that it simply ignores the --sync-username, and that
svnsync is simply not passing the user credentials.
It could also be an unanticipated issue with the svnsync binary itself.
Maybe it simply ignores the command line switches or not using the
Subversion API correctly.
Anyone else has had this issue with svnsync and ssh?
