Heh, 2gig file limits are way old problems for Linux :) I know it is
still a concern on WinNT 4, and Win9[58] (maybe 2000 aswell?).

Yeah, you can just create /repo/vendor-branches/ in addition to the
suggested trunk, tags and brances.

I'd love if the -F command in svn took a '-' arg to mean stdin. We could
then add some args to svn status to only output added or deleted
files/dirs (svn doesn't have an edit command, so we don't need to worry
about modified files in this case). As a perforce user myself, who syncs
a remote and local mirror of a repository (some 2gigs of data), I find
the feature you describe very useful aswell.
