Rsync a site directly to Subversion repository

Question

I have a live drupal website community. I have gone ahead to host the project publicly on Google code. Due to slow internet connectivity, I have not been able to successfully upload my initial copy to the repository (I've also tried svn import).

So I thought, I will write a script that backs up my entire site excluding the database, save it as a tar ball & then rsync it to the repository via cron. How can I go about this?

Answer 1

If you were self hosting, you could probably do this, but google code doesn't give you the kind of access you would need to do this. If SVN won't work why don't you try one of the other (better) VCS (IE git and mercurial) supported by google code.
