In the latest version of my proposal, I've proposed to write a
mirroring tool which will basically be a stripped down version of
svnsync [1]. For testing, I therefore recommend that you use svnsync
instead of rsvndump because the former is included in the official
source tree. If however, you do a comparison and find that rsvndump is
actually a better alternative, let me know.

That's fantastic! I suspect you haven't looked at the latest revision
of my proposal. Since Gmane doesn't seem to have indexed it, I just
sent you a mail off the list.
