You might want to add --depth 2000 (where 2000 is a guess at how many commits there have been since when it broke and now), to avoid downloading the entire history of the FreeBSD repo (not necessary if you have loads of bandwidth and disk space).  Just grabbing the last few thousand revisions is faster than an svn checkout.
