Re: svnsync crashes on a huge commit

I've increased swap size to 8gb, increased opened files handles limit to
200k and ran the process at night when the server is not very busy.

Finally svnsync form a revision copy in db, but hang after it. It didn't
print "Committed revision" just hanged on a set of dots after "Transmitting
file data....". I've killed it and ran "svnadmin verify". The revision copy
seems to be fine. And it was successfully packed by svnadmin pack at the
end of mirroring process.

svnsync is a buggy crap! I guarantee this. And no one cares. No one going
to opened an issue.
