Yeah, even I thought that the behavior should be same as you mentioned but I got "svnsync: Error while replaying commit" error during sync operation for that revision.
When I checked the mirrored repository, A was missing which is correct as at that time A had restricted access. Branch operation of A to B failed to mirror though. I am using svn 1.6.6. After fixing the permissions and re-initiating another mirror the problem went away and now both of my repositories are synced up with A and B. I am sure that this was the error but willl try to write reproduction steps with sample scripts.

Specifically, if you run svnsync using an authz-bound user, then you should just see adds-with-history converted into adds-without-history. I believe we have regression tests for such scenarios too. If you can reproduce this (have a minimal example), please file an issue, thanks. Daniel (separately: is the error in the subject really everything? It should be logging the original error somewhere --- possibly on the server side, but *somewhere*.)
