    Saving big (100GB+) directories with lots of files under subversion will most probably fail (due to timeout/exeeded RAM consumption & co).
Instead of One Big Failing Transaction, commit your data in chunks.
#!/bin/bash
# First, commit directory structure
# find -type d |  xargs  -d '\n' svn add --depth=empty


# Then, commit all files in chunks

for i in {1..200}
do

   echo "Welcome $i times"

   svn status | grep "^\?" | awk '{print $2}' | head -n 1000 | xargs  -d '\n' svn add
   svn commit  -m "With chunk  $i/200" 

done
