Yes.  An error code has a default message associated with it, but when
an error object it constructed the callsite can specify an alternative
message.

I'm surprised that it's an errno error code rather than a Subversion
error code from svn_error_codes.h.  (I can tell that by its numeric
value.)

If the book is wrong, please report it to the book's mailing list.  If
you think Subversion should promise a specific error code in this
situation, please file a bug against svnsync.
