I'm going to try setting svn:sync-* props by hand first...

From this post
http://journal.paul.querna.org/articles/2006/09/14/using-svnsync/
I guess I need to set four properties by hand...

$ svn proplist --revprop -r 0 ${TOREPO}

  svn:sync-from-uuid
  svn:sync-last-merged-rev
  svn:date
  svn:sync-from-url

I retrieved the uuid from the source repo like so

#> svn info http://localhost/svn/source-repo -r 3738
URL: http://localhost/svn/source-repo
Repository Root: http://localhost/svn/source-repo
Repository UUID: 9c96f4c0-7d9a-42f6-b8c8-54e79b961fad
Revision: 3738

Okay, the sync-from-url is easy, last-merged-rev is 3738... what format is
the svn:date in? Anyone know?
