is it possible to export the actual svn repository? #45

Is it possible to export the SVN repository (not a checkout of the repo, but 
the actual repo) so that it can be hosted elsewhere?

If I understand the question correctly, you want to continue using the `svn` 
protocol and not migrate your project to GitHub (which would require you to 
switch to Git), correct?

If so, consider moving your project to SourceForge. SourceForge supports svn 
natively, as well as offers an easy import service for your Google Code project.

Yes, that's half correct, but I'd rather not go (back) to Sourceforge, we'd 
like to host the SVN ourselves on our own server. 

For instance, when we moved from Sourceforge to Google Code, we were able to 
download a large zip/tgz file of the actual repo (the one with the svn control 
folders like conf, dav, db, format, hooks, locks in the root, instead of what 
you get from a checkout--content like 'trunk'). 

We've already moved the main project to Github, we were just hoping to keep the 
old SVN for people to be able to grab older releases (or anything that didn't 
transfer properly to Github).

I hope that I'm just missing an option that's already available in the current 
interface, but thanks for any help.
