Can single (or a really small number of SVN commits) be pulled
efficiently? A year ago, I had something similar in place and called
the update script from procmail (so that it would pull the last commit
right after receiving the commit email.)
But hourly mirroring sounds like being more than enough, though.

I guess that'll be in the 150..200 MB range.

You already did a full repack as I get from the other emails. I don't
think it'll pack any smaller. You'd increase the window sizes, but
that simply won't pack it to 400MB :) It's surely not worth burning
lots of CPU cycles for one megabyte, or two...

Maybe we'd find one or two of these "root servers" offered by some
ISPs with unlimited traffic and start to spread the load, or ask the
kernel.org guys if they'd also host a copy of the repo.
