Hello, I've ran into the following problem with svnsync on Windows Vista. I'm trying to mirror a repository from my flash drive to the local disk, and keep getting the following message:
svnsync: Cannot accept 'svn:sync-lock' property because it is not encoded in UTF-8 What's wrong here? I've been doing the same thing many times before, on Windows and Linux, and never seen anything like this. Here's what I'm doing: C:\Data>svnadmin create svn-backup C:\Data>svnsync init file:///c:/data/svn-backup file:///s:/svn svnsync: Cannot accept 'svn:sync-lock' property because it is not encoded in UTF-8 C:\Data>svn pdel --revprop -r 0 svn:sync-lock file:///c:/data/svn-backup property 'svn:sync-lock' deleted from repository revision 0 C:\Data>svnsync init file:///c:/data/svn-backup file:///s:/svn svnsync: Cannot accept 'svn:sync-lock' property because it is not encoded in UTF-8 It seems that the message from svnsync is issued before calling pre-revprop-change hook in the target repository. Here's the svn version I'm using: C:\Data>svnsync --version svnsync, version 1.6.6 (r40053) compiled Oct 26 2009, 20:14:36 Copyright (C) 2000-2009 CollabNet.
