On the master, I did svnadmin hotcopy, then I tarred up the backup and sent it to the slave, and extracted it. I had to configure the slave hook scripts, and the revprop rev 0 properties, and then I was able to svnsync to the slave again. The main point of difference ... No need to wait for 65k commits to transfer. Since it's starting from a recent backup, it's enormously faster.

Yes, that sounds quite a bit easier/quicker. I didn't realise the r/o copies maintained by svnsync were that similar to the
r/w copies they get their data from. Thank you for the information.

I've found a handful of other cases similar to ours. Do you think a bug report is warranted or is this unique to our
configurations?

kind regards,
