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.

I don't think I'm insult svnsync, I'm just said svnsync has some shortcoming.

Long ago, I use svnsync meet some bad thing(I'm forgot now), so I

In the worst circumstances, I can lost the latest version in theory.
