I fully understand the grief.
Out of the top of my head you can use 'snvadmin dump' to get an
(even larger) dump of the repo as a single file. Then feed
it to svndumpfiler to reconstruct the repo and filter out the
excess commits. For me it worked as advertised.

There are so called hooks server side that get triggered by
the check in/out/etc. It may be possible to look at the size
of the changes and reject the operation based on thresholds.
I have never tried that, although.
Hope this helps.
