RE: Re: Space wasting

Is a textbase necessary for any SVN operation *as long as the file
in the working copy has not been changed*? In other words
Wouldn't it be possible/an option that textbase is just and only
created when the original file is saved and cleared after the next
commit? I suppose there would have to be a background process
to take care of this.

Not exactly a background process, you'd have to hook the OS.

There is no nice neat place to hook 'Save' in any OS. You'd have to hook
writes - which could include memory mapping a file. If you had a
random-access file (say, a database file, or an image having just its
header tags changed) then the application program would be modifying the
file without any kind of 'save' step.
