Google Guy Here.  :-)

Can you do me a favor?  Can you try using svk to 'push' your
repository to some other local repository (in the same way you're
pushing it at google)?  Then verify that the target (replicated)
repository is indeed the same size as the original?

I *suspect* there's a bug in the quota-tracking code at google, and if
so, it's my fault.  I may need to investigate ASAP!

Yes, this is what I was trying to hint at when you guys initially
asked for a gig of space.  :-)
