The file is on a directory with ~740 files.

Is 800 files considered a large directory on the scenario you
describe? Too bad if the answer is yes, as the repo size is
skyrocketing due to commits consising on a few line deltas. It will
become worse as that directory is expected to contain thousands of
files on a year or two.

There are some large projects out there using svn that have
directories with thousands of files. I wonder how nobody noticed this.

Thanks for you input, John
