In my subversion cookbook I've created a subversion_export definition  
that I can use on any recipe like this:

subversion_export "webmail" do
  url  "https://xpto.com/svn/webmail/trunk/web";
  path "/var/www/mail.ist.utl.pt"
  revision 33
end

The definition is backed by a custom script uploaded to the host by  
the subversion recipe.

It's been working form me, but a repo resource would be a very nice  
addition indeed.
