"It should work."
Specifically, if you run svnsync using an authz-bound user, then you
should just see adds-with-history converted into adds-without-history.
I believe we have regression tests for such scenarios too.
If you can reproduce this (have a minimal example), please file an
issue, thanks.

(separately: is the error in the subject really everything? It should
be logging the original error somewhere --- possibly on the server side,
but *somewhere*.)
