Re: Crazy 5-step plan to remove the cached pristine copy

Why exactly would you want to remove the cached pristine copy ?
Is it the disk space that's bothering you ?
It seems the disk space should be rather small: all unmodified files
can be hardlinked to their pristine copy, so disk space is only needed
for the few modified files.

Does SVN send a diff when merging ? I thought the merge was done locally.
