"log" files, revision number

Hi all,

I've been using subversion pretty heavily for a while, and I've noticed
that a large number of "log.0000000*" files are building up in the "db"
subdirectory under my subversion root. There are about 3500 of them at 1Mb
each, eating up about 3Gb of disk space.

Are they safe to delete? Are they even necessary? Are they supposed to be
deleted automatically at some point? I can see them becoming a maintenance
headache =(. I'm running 0.17.1 (r4559), compiled Jan 24 2003.

I was also wondering whether there a clean way to find out the latest
revision number of the repository cleanly via http. The only ways I know
at present are to use "svnlook youngest" with a pathname, or to run
'lynx -source http://localhost/svn | head -1', neither of which is
particularly satisfactory =)

Cheers, Chris.
