one idea:
I have read-only (svnsync) clones of all my important repositories in
a separate building from the real svn server. This happened more by
accident than by design: my continuous build checks out from the
clones instead of the original repository. That way, I don't have to
worry about my build jobs flooding the central server with polling to
see if anything has changed yet. (There is some of this, however,
since there's a cron job to keep the repositories up-to-date.
This has helped me diagnose and repair repository corruption in one
case, and it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling (despite the fact that I've
been told that the central svn server is backed up).
