FWIW, I had to convert over to using svn://-style URLs (vs. file://-
style) because my mirrored SVN roots are on an NFS filesystem;
executing a bunch of checkouts simultaneously from the same root is
Bad (and causes some checkouts to fail).
Instead, I setup an svnserve on my cluster head node to serve the SVN
repos in a read-only manner out to my cluster. It was trivial to
setup the svnserve, and it seems to work quite well in my MTT setup.
