When a new SVN repo is created, an initial commit of trunk/ tags/ and branches/ directories is made (since it is a common pattern that users expect to use with SVN). If you do an SVN import later, r1 is not updated.

Now you can just run the 'svnsync sync' command to synchronize pending revisions. This will copy any revisions that exist in the source repos but don't exist in the destination repos.

We may not want to do the initial commit any more. Or maybe wipe the repo before importing.

    The code is supposed to be emptying the repo before importing, already.

    But this disables the ability to use svnsync as the initialize requires the repository to be empty. Is this intentional? Or is there some workaround that could make the svnsync work?
