I got the impression from the 2nd and 3rd non-quote paragraphs here:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-November/026898.html

that what you want is "a full svk mirror", and since it was being
advocated I presumed that it could be set up by a reasonably simple,
if initially time/bandwidth intensive, mechanism.  This, from
earlier in the same thread, may be useful:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/SubversionPrimer

Again, I have not gotten around to trying any of this.
