yeah, I have been running suse since 6.2, and I was a little bit
disappointed when I upgraded a couple of weeks ago to 12.2;
there were a few surprises :-(

Wow; mine took about 2 min -- but admittedly I had only trunk to
worry about trunk. It is a local operation so it does not use any network;
maybe a slower harddrive?
I used to use SVK over SVN, but the change in format threw
SVK to the coucouland; it is a bit painful.

I was addicted to SVK, but now I am painfully back to plain SVN.

I fully agree. I suspect it might be that:
(1) many GCC developers use plain SVN; or
(2) the change in SVN format (version 1.7.x) is relatively
recent so it hasn't affected enough people yet.

Thank *you* for debugging this. Would you mind patching this part of
the script along with suggestion for running `svn upgrade'?
