I used the bzr-svn plugin to do this.  It worked sort of.  My SVN repo
is pretty big (10K revs, 25K files in trunk), and doing a simple 'bzr
branch svn+ssh://....' ran out of memory.

I had to do it in chunks like this:

    bzr init-repo repo
    bzr branch -r 1000 svn+ssh://server.com/var/svn/repo/trunk repo/original-from-svn
    chdir repo/original-from-svn
    for REV in $(seq 2000 1000 11000); do
        bzr pull -r $REV svn+ssh://server.com/var/svn/repo/trunk
    done


I'd love to switch from svn to bzr, but it needs too much memory and
CPU time to deal with my repository...  :-(

I'll probably end up using git instead.
