we're running a SVN repo (~6GB) on 1.7.3. Checking out the entire repo in one "svn co" (both 1.6 and 1.7) session is almost impossible. The httpd process starts consuming up to 4GB and then dies...
Note: The repository size and the size of a checkout are mostly independent of each other. If you "svn remove" everything, your repo will grow by a few bytes for the new revision. If you "svn copy" a file to different locations inside the repository, it will only grow by a few bytes for the new revision, but a checkout will contain multiple independent copies of the files.
Anyhow, the question is what size the checkout really requires. The data for this checkout is accumulated in memory and then sent to the client. If this is more than the amount of memory you have, that's bad luck and a natural limit, not a memory leak.
Another question is why you think you need the whole repository. Depending on that, there might be different workarounds. What you can do for sure is to check out with reduced depth and then update step by step the missing child elements until you have a full repository. Other than that, assuming a "normal" layout, you don't need the whole tags folder for your work. In most cases you don't even need the branches folder, only a few of them.
BTW: In order to pull the whole repository content including history, svnsync is the tool of choice. However, that doesn't give you a working copy but a mirror repository.
Good luck with whatever you are trying to achieve!
