Clone Remote Subversion Repositories With svnsync

http://www.thoughtspark.org/node/10

1. Create your local repository: svnadmin create PATH
2. Create an empty pre-revprop-change hook script: echo '#!/bin/bash' > PATH/hooks/pre-revprop-change
3. Make the pre-revprop-change hook script executable: chmod +x PATH/hooks/pre-revprop-change
4. Initialize svnsync: svnsync init file:⁄⁄⁄PATH URL_TO_REPO_ROOT_TO_CLONE
5. Synchronize: svnsync sync DEST_URL

(Note: "DEST_URL" is the url to the Subversion repository you created in step 1.)
