Description

Hi, during the review of the SVN Book 
i have found a little issue:

In the book it's written:

In Subversion 1.4, this is required—only full mirroring of repositories is 
permitted. In Subversion 1.5, though, you can use svnsync to mirror only some 
subtree of the repository, too.

But when I try to get the help message about the CLI (RC11):
---------------
svnsles9:~ # svnsync init --help
initialize (init): usage: svnsync initialize DEST_URL SOURCE_URL

Initialize a destination repository for synchronization from
another repository.

The destination URL must point to the root of a repository with
no committed revisions.  The destination repository must allow
revision property changes.
---------------
But this is not true, cause in SVN 1.5 you can use a subdirectory of the 
source_url ...
