I'd imagine the dump being on the order of 100s of megabytes, but I could be off. At certain points the repo included large data files which were then removed. Is there a way to exclude those during the dmp process? > > If it's rather big, then it may be best to wait until some pending HW > upgrades to the main SVN server are deployed.

Okey dokey. I'll wait till I have the dmp file (which I can probably generate tomorrow), or files, and then I'll rely on your judgement for the best way to load it.
