Name

svnsync synchronize — Transfer all pending revisions from the source repository to the mirror repository.

Synopsis

svnsync synchronize DEST_URL

Description

The svnsync synchronize command does all the heavy lifting of a repository mirroring operation. After consulting with the mirror repository to see which revisions have already been copied into it, it then begins to copy any not-yet-mirrored revisions from the source repository.

svnsync synchronize can be gracefully canceled and restarted.

As of Subversion 1.5, you can limit svnsync to a subdirectory of the source repository by specifying the subdirectory as part of the SOURCE_URL.

Alternate names

sync.

Options

--config-dir DIR
--no-auth-cache
--non-interactive
--quiet (-q)
--source-password ARG
--source-username ARG
--sync-password ARG
--sync-username ARG

Examples

$ svnsync synchronize file:///var/svn/repos-mirror
