Does that also include this kind of cleanup operation where I remove paths that don't exist on HEAD?

Yes. The precondition for running 'svnsync' is that every revision in
the target repository is identical to the corresponding revision in the
source repository. "Correspondence", in this sense, simply means
numeric equality: r5 must correspond to r5, not to r6 nor to r4.

You should use svnsync and set the source repository's URL to a URL
that has authz restrictions denying read to the large binary blobs.

That's it.
