Oh man... yes, that clarifies things. At this point in its life-cycle, I
don't think you can really rely on SVN staying within 12 Mb. While we've
smacked down those rapid blow-ups that consume several hundred meg, we
haven't pressed hard to stay within a few meg of working set. (if you even
consider that appropriate :-)

wget will work, but it won't be able to do an "update". It can only fetch
the full contents. If that is okay, then great. If you want incremental
updates, then things are going to get a bit more complicated :-)

It would be nice if wget used PROPFIND, but its HTML scraping should do a
fine job against the directory listings that we auto-generate.
