I guess it stores temporary data there.

If you literally mean "svn import" with import process, then you don't
have to do anything, because the import is done in one atomic
transaction. If you mean something like "svnadmin load", this is not the
case, there revisions are committed one by one. In that case, you should
be able to resume the load operation from the first revision not loaded.

I think you can use %TMP% or %TEMP% to change this location. In any
case, you specify the repository to load/import into, but SVN uses
"normal" OS scrap space to first assemble the according new revision,
but it should also clean up after itself. In no case is data stored
there permanently.
