Use authz on the source repository to hide that file from the user svnsync authenticates as. If you re-committed that file a few revisions later and want to preserve _that_ copy, then stop svnsync before the revision that re-creates the file. The easiest way to do this is to ^C svnsync, but you can also install a start-commit hook on the destination repository that aborts if HEAD is r1233, where the file was re-committed in r1234. However, there's a catch. If you re-committed the file by doing 'svn rm' and 'svn add' as two separate commits, or under different names, this approach would work; but if you did the 'rm' and 'add' as a _single_ commit, under the same name, authz alone won't help. If that's the case, let us know. Cheers, Daniel P.S. A word of warning: the trick of using start-commit to prevent r1234 from being committed only relies on a non-obvious property of svnsync mirrors: they never have two in-flight commit attempts simultaneously. The trick won't work on repositories whose use pattern doesn't have this property.
