svnsync fails:

Post by ^rooker »

[PROBLEM]
Trying to import my existing repository into a new one at a different location, following these instructions from "Google Code FAQ", I ran into the following error:
svnsync: Das Projektarchiv lässt keine Änderungen an Revisionseigenschaften zu. Bitten Sie den Administrator darum, eine »pre-revprop-change« Aktion einzurichten.
Unfortunately, the destination SVN repository was located on a computer running windows, so the hook scripts mentioned in the svnsync documentation were unusable, because they're bash scripts.

[SOLUTION]
Luckily, someone posted this a short reply in "Paul's Journal" blog:
please note that on windows, as stated in the svn book, the commit hooks is done creating a blank file in the hooks/ directory named ‘pre-revprop-change.bat’
That did the trick.
