Also, direct manipulations on the repo, like the surgery that was done with cvs2svn:cvs-rev properties, also not propagated by svnsync. I believe this is major reason why the svnsync mirrors are not given a bless. I do use svnsync, and my local mirror is used both to feed the the git-svn and local checkouts. >=20 > Even without a replica, I've found offline work with > SVN pretty reasonable.
