You can use svnsync to transfer all or part of the repository to
another server. So you can either sync the whole thing to another
server with more disk space and then do your dump, filter and load;
or you can sync just the project you want to extract to the new
server and there's your new repository all ready to go (well, you'd
have to copy over conf files and hook scripts if you have them). At
least, I was led to believe you can now, with the latest Subversion,
sync just a part of a repository; I'm not sure what the syntax for
that is.
