"There is no problem?" Allow me to quote the book:

"If you attempt to use Berkeley DB on a network share, the results are
unpredictable—you may see mysterious errors right away, or it may be
months before you discover that your repository database is subtly
corrupted."

So you're working at your own risk here. Good luck.

Sorry for the confusion here: you're talking about the svn *client*
program growing huge, right?

If so, is it possible for one of us to reproduce the problem? In other
words, can you give us a URL to checkout/update, so we can try to
witness/debug the problem firsthand?
