Excessive Repository Size

Hello!

I installed Subversion in order to see how it compares to CVS. To make
the comparison I added a couple of projects contained in one CVS
repository to a newly created Subversion repository. (I added the
projects manually, since cvs2svn script did not work on my CVS
repository for some reason.)

Now comes the strange issue. The size of CVS repository is roughly 100
MB. The size of Subversion repository containing the very same projects
is 206 MB.

I took a look 'db' subdirectory of the Subversion repository. Looks like
the size of 'strings' file corresponds to the size of CVS repository.
However, there are myriads of log.* files, 1 MB each (one for each
transaction I made while adding the projects?). Are these log files
necessary? Is it safe to delete them from time to time (e.g., before
backup)?

Best Regards,
Alexander Klyubin
