Dongsheng Song: If you're going to insult the software, you should provide justification for your insult. svnsync was specifically designed to synchronize repositories, and as far as I know many people use it successfully. Like most software, it has some shortcomings, but I don't think any of them are relevant here. In this case, the reason it did not work is that the revision is corrupt, as shown above.

Shu Qingxiang: I don't know what you can do to fix this now, other than restore the corrupt revision from your backups -- but since you're talking about setting up a backup with svnsync, I'm fearing perhaps no backup exists.
