Below I'll attach the IRC transcript regarding today's repository
wedgitude. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this thread:

Summary of the IRC transcript:
Revision 6764 exacerbated a problem with our BDB usage. We're making
way too many transactions; we should stop making them for read-only
operations, and use them as little as necessary for read/write
operations too while we're at it.
Revisions before 6764 are able to serve 3 simultaneous checkouts of
the Subversion trunk from http://localhost/. Revision 6764 and after
always lock up; this is reliably reproducible. See the above thread
and the IRC transcript for details.
Mike Pilato points out that this change is not easy :-), we'll have to
think carefully.
