To clarify, I'm only trying to say "Don't blindly trust mailing list posts from two years ago; they were correct then but might no longer be". About the specific issue of rsync'ing FSFS repositories: it works in 1.7 if the repository is not written to (including revprop changes and 'svn lock's) for the entire duration of the rsync. > (Now, as it happens, between 1.6 and 1.7 in FSFS they didn't.
