SVN sync of inconsistent revisions

I have two SVN repos, that one is a mirror of the other. Lets call them Source and Mirror

Those repos reside on different servers each. we have a post commit hook that any commit into "Source" repo is being synced into "Mirror" repo. There are no write permissions in "Mirror" only a specific user that execute the sync.

That repo exist for a long time, it contains ~140,000 revisions and reach more than 100GB

Lately the "svnsync" failed from time to time, a problem either solved by itself or a reboot to the server.

two days ago, I got the error -

svnsync: E200014: Base checksum mismatch on '':

expected: some checksum

actual: other checksum

I couldn't find any solution to that, so what I did was an incremental dump of the missing commits which were in the "Source" and load them into the "Mirror", now I got -

svnsync: E000022: Revision being currently copied (first un-synced revision),

last merged revision (last un-synced revision),

and destination HEAD (same as last un-synced revision) are inconsistent;

have you committed to the destination without using svnsync?

Apperantly the load of the missing commits was a mistake.

Now what I do ? I can't run a simple new sync to a new initialized repo, it is a 100GB it can take days. and I tried it, it kept failing, had to restart from the begging each time.

I can remove a lot of branch/tags but not sure how ? create a new repo and sync it ?

I appreciate if there is a solution to the inconsistent issue

Thanks !

After long investigation, discussing with others and offering a bounty here, I think this question is not resolved and there is no way to fix a broken sync, but only to re-create the repo
