Problem using subversion on a large repository

Hi,

        my problem is using subversion in a large development project

        Just the numbers:

                1 ~ 500 Software Packages with up to ~100 files per
package
                2. a lot of testig data
                3. total size of a checkout is ~5G
                4. HW SLES 10 with 32G memory + 2 quadcore
                5. subversion default package in SLES 10 ->
subversion-1.3.1-1.10

        the size of the repository itself is

                7124552 G

        The problem to delete old (unused) source-trees using the

                svanadmin dump/load

        feature but i'm not able to even dump this repository because
        i have a lot of tags created with:

                svn copy

        and these tags have no space in the rep but seems
        to use a lot of space in the dumps

        a dump of a sigle revision piped into gzip 9 took
        1 day and created a 80 G dumpfile

        the propblem is what I want to admin the repository for

                -> cleanup unused revisons / trees

        i need the dump/filter/load syntax because no other command is
doing this job
        I don't even have enougth disk space to do this and recreating a
new repository with the
        80G gzip 9 single revision dump creates a repository with close
this size
         (remember my current rep size is ~7G)

        -> How i can cleanup my rep ?
