I just opened an issue: [1]. Which is the best way to synch the repositories without producing an incremental svn dump? (Chris asked to avoid the ASF INFRA guys further). I can try with 'svn sync' but I'm not sure it works (1). This would allow to preserve also the SVN logs. The other solution is to produce a patch and apply it on the ASF SVN (2). This will cause the lost of the SVN logs. The definitive solution would be to import patch by patch all the revisions (3), but it is really time consuming. Attempting with (1) first. The best.
