When I run the following on a number of my SVN repos,

   % svnsync initialize file:///my/mirror file:///my/original

I get this error.

   svnsync: E165002: Storage of non-regular property 'svn:entry:committed-date' is disallowed
   through the repository interface, and could indicate a bug in your client

I don't know where that property is to remove it or where it came from.  I assume it's something SVN puts there for its own bookkeeping.

How do I get past this?

This is with SVN 1.14.1.  Repo formats are all 5.  Just before running svnsync, I used "svnadmin create" to create a fresh, empty mirror repo, and added a pre-revprop-change hook that just exits.

Thanks for any help you can provide and for supporting SVN.
