how does tigris do server updates?

Hello once again;

When you guys at Tigris do your back end SVN updates from say repo
version 1.3 to 1.4, etc....

... how do you go about it in terms of minimizing down time?

I'm asking as we have about 5 repos each at about 40-60GB and based
on our tests, the process of converting takes about 1.5 days per repo
on a P3. We have serveral Opterons and Core Duos which we can spread
the conversion process on that would speed this up.

We figure 1 week total for implementation/debug. We are testing now
but will most liely wait till 1,5 is out as the sync/proxy feature is
shweeeet!

I know that I am asking systems methodology advice, but since you
guys do it all day long, it doesn't hurt to ask.
