svnsync should provide a command in order to steal a svn:sync-lock on the remote
repos.
Years ago I've set up two repos which sync with svnsync. Once I needed to
reboot one host. svnsync was in action (cronjob). After reboot I receive emails
like
Failed to get lock on destination repos, currently held by
'svn.example.com:0e4e0d98-631d-0410-9a00-9320a90920b3'
...

svnsync: Couldn't get lock on destination repos after 10 attempts
It took me half an hour to get to the correct solution which is
svn propdelete svn:sync-lock --revprop -r 0 ${TOREPO}
but beforehand I've tried several attempts with svnadm to find any locks on the
source and the destination repo.
If svnsync would provide a command, which just fires the above mentioned
propdelete and -- more important -- provides documentation of this, it would
give some benefit to stressed admins.
Most important on this wish item are two lines of documentation at the right
place, which is 'svnadmin help'.
