The svn repo (just for src) is enormous -- the seed > file is 1GB alone. 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.
