Description

The svnsync has been setup and working. I checked on a test repository of few 
hundreds revisions (around 300). It was working well. Then I switched to real 
corporate source repository (22k revisions) and svnsync started to report 
following message: svnsync: 'pre-revprop-change' hook failed with error output:
where expected output was not provided. Both dest and source are installed on 
Windows machines (XP 32bit and Server x64 2003), the svnsync runs from the 
machine hosting source repository. The pre-revprop-change hook is a Windows pre-
revprop-change.cmd script containing:
----------------
@echo off

set REPOS=%1
set REV=%2
set USER=%3
set PROPNAME=%4
set ACTION=%5

echo %REPOS% %REV% %USER% %PROPNAME% %ACTION% >> 
D:\SLW_BACKUP\subversion_backup_host\src\pre_synclog.txt
exit 0
-----------

So, the exit code is always 0 and shall not fail in any way, but it does. 
Svnsync runs adding from 100 to 500 new revisions into destination and then it 
fails.
