Another possibility is to increase the frequency of snapshots after
the switch to subversion.  They will have a lower cost, since it will
no longer be necessary to lock the database for an hour to attach the
snapshot tag.  Or maybe no tag is necessary at all for snapshots,
if all we need to record is the global revision number.
