The cvs repos are about 1.2G (compressed).  There are about three or 
four *xEmpty* files in in cvs-cur at any one time.  So adding another 
three or four of these might only double the size of CTM.  I think it is 
doable.

Tell me a command sequence for downloading the svn repo, and I can do a 
few preliminary experiments to see how big it would all be.
