You are allowed to do anything you want to that repository, as it's
experimental. Unfortunately, there's not much time left for you to try, as it
will be taken offline when the new repository will be moved into its place (I'm
not sure if this can happen incrementally while the conversion happens, but the
upper limit on the time it will remain live are 39hrs -- the time for the
conversion -- after the cvs server is switched to readonly at noon EST (I think
-6hrs from our timezone)).

If you want to be certain you don't ruin the repository, you can create your own
branch (svn cp svn+ssh://pault@gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk
svn+ssh://pault@gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/paultsbranch -m "Try some
stuff."), and then work in it.

You are aware of gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp, I hope?
