[Fwd: Re: Disk/Memory Consumption of SVN]

It helps when I remember to CC the list...

This is what I get from subversion --version,

Subversion Client, version 0.8.0
     compiled Jan 30 2002, 18:34:14

I downloaded the most recent tar file, and checked out from the trunk
like the readme instructions said. I built the software from there. I
believe that is the version I am running.

If I don't have a recent enough version of the source let me know, I
will grab a newer one and build it. I'll update the bug when I get a
chance.

        Thanks,
                Kirby
