This is really quite unnecessary. I've been using Subversion actively
for exactly nine months (with 805 revisions) and have had no problems at
all. Even the occassional database format change merely requires a
simple dump/load procedure. With hot-backup.py you are covered in terms
of backups.
Trust me, save yourself the effort and just use Subversion as-is.

P.S. I am not a member of the Subversion team, so I do not speak for
them.
