I've got VisualSVN 1.6.2 running on a Windows XP box and I'm trying to sync (backup) to an external linux server. I've been following the guide at http://journal.paul.querna.org/articles/2006/09/14/using-svnsync/ but keep getting the following error:
C:\Repositories>svnsync init http://svn.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/repo1http://xxxxxxxxxxxx:8080/repo1 Authentication realm: <http://svn.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:80> xxxxxxx Subversion Mirror Password for 'Owner': ********* Authentication realm: <http://svn.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com:80> xxxxxxxxxx Subversion Mirror Username: xxxxxxxxx Password for 'xxxxxxxxxxx': ********** svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre- revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svnsync: Error setting property 'sync-lock': could not remove a property I've posted on the svnforum as well which outlines my problem in more detail. http://www.svnforum.org/2017/viewtopic.php?t=7395&highlight= I've removed all permissions from the mirror server but I still get this error. Could it be that it's unable to set the property locally? I'd really appreciate any help with this as I'm stuck.
