Good heavens. If every checkout etc. is logged with the database, then it
must grow enormous over time. And I run `svn st -u' and `svn up' all the
time. If these change the repository, then that might account for the
problems I've been having. I don't see why it is necessary to log all this
activity, though.
I see the Subversion Book refers to logs, but I thought they were logs of
commits. I didn't realise it was logging all this other stuff.
