Hi!
I did a little test import of KDE CVS to SVN (thanks to #cvs2svn :),
but found a severe problem when trying to some things at the limit.
You can see the directory I'm commiting to at
https://svn.kde.org/viewcvs/trunk/kde-i18n/templates/
Mainly I did two test commits. One where I was the only one commiting
and that worked. But when I asked someone else to commit a little change
(somewhere in the repository) while I was commiting, I had this output of
svn:
Sending others/ksetiwatch.pot
Sending others/kssh.pot
Sending others/kwebget.pot
Sending www.kde.org/media.pot

svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
Doing some strace on the server it became obvious, that the server was
simply running out of memory. Having had some bad experience with cvs,
we set a ulimit on our server to disallow (unintended) DoS attacks. But 128MB
are fine to do a commit, no?
Now before the server was aborted due the ulimit, it was acting like this in the
strace:

Basically it opened all revisions downwards starting from HEAD and seeked
something in there and (I asumme) puts it in some list eating up memory.
As you can find out on the viewcvs, it's not the case that every of these revisions
saw a change to /trunk/kde-i18n/templates, so from what I understood it shouldn't
open them, e.g. https://svn.kde.org/viewcvs?rev=330730&view=rev is pretty
unrelated.
Why is svnserve (version 1.1.3 btw) doing that? If this is happening whenever
two people commit at the same time, then I'm afraid this would make KDE moving
to subversion impossible ;(
