Description

When syncing, svnsync first commits the changes from the
source repository revision to the destination repository
and then copies the revision properties in a second step.

If the source repository contains empty revisions, the
destination repository will not be an exact copy of the
source repository since empty revisions are missing the
svn:author revision property.

An empty revision will have no author in the source
repository and the username svnsnyc uses as the author
in the destination repository.

If test data is needed, revisions 6192 to 6196 of the
svn repository should do the job.
