Yes, I understand this process already.

I'm thinking about something slightly different: maintaining two
repositories side-by-side, one of them being the working repository,
and the other being for read-only access. From time to time I'd take,
for example, 10.000 revisions from the bottom of the working copy,
and move them to the top of the read-only version.

This is just an idea right now, but I may actually do that in the
future to avoid handling a 26GB+/46000+ repository everytime I have
to do a backup, or dump/load, or whatever.
