Packing a repository moves revision data from the existing files to new files: it basically concatenates each 1000 revision files into a single file. I think rsync will copy the concatenated files as new files (despite most of their contents already being available in other files at the destination). Therefore, if you've packed the master repository and are about to rsync it, you will save bandwidth by packing the mirror before rsyncing to it. (rsync must be run inside an 'svnadmin freeze' but packing must be run outside it.) Cheers, Daniel
