Transmitting file data .........................................................
.................................................svnsync: E175002: REPORT of
'http://remote_svn/branches/my_branch': Could not read chunk size: connection
was closed by server (http://remote_svn)
(of course there ware MUCH more 'dots')
I know that this revision is HUGE because it's initial.
So is there any way to do this other way? Maybe checkout (checkout works fine) it in temp place and manually commit into destination SVN and then resume it ?
Looks like your network or the server closed the connection on you. You can try again, keeping an eye on the memory usage of the sync process.
To fudge it manually, you'd need to copy the data from the files directory, then carefully edit the contents of property file 0. In there you'll find the details of the sync process. Once you've copied the first file delta across, you just edit the 0 property to read like its already synced this file. (ie add 1 to the relevant entries). Take a little time to understand each of the entries in that property file though. If you make a mess of it, you just delete the sync directory and start again (or copy the entire sync repo and restore it)
