svn import fails with FSFS backend due to 2GB file size limit

Hi,

Sorry for taking so long to report this, but I wanted to mention that,
about a year or so ago, I was setting up a new and very large Subversion
(I think version 1.4.1), and I had to create the repository with the
BerkeleyDB backend because the FSFS backend failed when one of its
temporary files got to be over 2GB. I tried alternate ways of getting
the data into the repo, but some of the files were over 2GB by
themselves, and it seems like commits were failing whenever the
compressed changes to the repository were >2GB in size. I just thought
you might like to know about this limitation of the FSFS backend, if you
didn't already.

Please CC me with any questions as I'm not on the list.

Thanks,

--Patrick
