We can keep this. > svn:sync-currently-copying and svn:sync-last-merged-rev - `sync` needs > to know how many revisions to copy. I looked more closely and found out that these headers have to be updated everytime a revision is written (hooked into revstart and revfinish functions). Since we write immediately to the stream, we cannot use this technique- to enable resume support, we must actually look at the tail of the dumpfile supplied and see which revision was dumped last. Hence, I'm dropping these two headers. > svn:sync-from-uuid - I'm not sure why svnsync NEEDS this, but I > suppose it's just for completeness/ elegance.

It turns out that this is a REAL revision property that I can get by passing a 0 revision argument to svn_ra_rev_proplist. -- Ram
