heads-up that there's going to be a lot more entries in their log files
coming from me -- unless it's an undocumented feature of the svn protocol,
md5 signatures for files are not included in directory requests and I need
to issue a get-file command for each and every file to get their md5
signatures in order to determine which local files need an update.  :(

It'd probably be faster for you to use svnsync to get a local mirror of the
repo.
