message.

I'm surprised that it's an errno error code rather than a Subversion
error code from svn_error_codes.h.  (I can tell that by its numeric

If the book is wrong, please report it to the book's mailing list.  If
you think Subversion should promise a specific error code in this
situation, please file a bug against svnsync.
