No. Here's my /etc/cron.d/zope-svn-mirror:

  # Mirror the Zope repository
  */5 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/update-zope-mirror > /dev/null

and here's my /usr/local/sbin/update-zope-mirror:

  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/bin/sudo -u syncuser /usr/bin/svnsync sync file:///stuff/zope-mirror

It's possible that a temporal overlap happened.
