oh ok I thought you were saying that the use of the SVN with HTTPS was slow..
so 2 different things

I experienced the "loading..." too but honestly it look more an AJAX probleme
than slow servers but I find it ok, you want the speed on the SVN
access as a priority
the rest is kind of secondary

I saw more than once people asking for quota increase and got it pretty fast,
note that you have differeant quotas: SVN quota, download quota,
number of projects quota

by default you got:
- 10 projects

and per project
- 100 MB per SVN
- 100 MB per download

to fill up 100MB on the SVN is not that easy
ideally you would want to have only source code, no zip, or binaries etc.
just saying don't think it is a good way to archive your FLAs
but if you stick on code all should be ok.

you have svnsync and you get your whole revisions,
it is not exactly a dump of the repository but it is almost the same.

from the top of my head
$svnadmin create /backup/myproject
$svnsync http://myproject.googlecodecom/svn /backup/myproject

just be carefull if you want your backup as mirror and keep using
the google repos as your main repos for commit (look the svn redbook doc)

"The svnsync program (see the section called "Repository Replication")
actually provides a rather handy middle-ground approach. If you are
regularly synchronizing a read-only mirror with your main repository,
then in a pinch, your read-only mirror is probably a good candidate
for replacing that main repository if it falls over. The primary
disadvantage of this method is that only the versioned repository data
gets synchronized—repository configuration files, user-specified
repository path locks, and other items which might live in the
physical repository directory but not inside the repository's virtual
versioned filesystem are not handled by svnsync."

amd al is explained here
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.replication

they say "Do not modify the mirror" etc. but this is only for people
that want to mirror their repo,
if you want to do a direct copy, ditch the old repo and use the new
one, it work perfectly.
