How many MBs of files have you committed?
The repository can't be smaller than the actual file sizes. I am pretty sure
it only stores diffs of text, but if you have a 10mb PSD file and make 5
changes with a commit in between then that would be 50MB I think. (Or does
SVN store Diffs of binary files?)
For reference we have 605 revisions and the size is 21MB, and if I do an
export of the root of the repository I get 21MB of files (2578 files) on
disk. That is all C# / ASP code - so perhaps SVN does compression as well?
How else could the repository with 600 revisions be the same size as the
actual files?
One thing that is interesting is that there is a file created in the revs
folder for each revision. Has there been any testing/reports of performance
issues when the number of revisions approaches the thousands? We run Windows
2000 servers here and for our own applications we start to notice speed
issues once you get past about 5000 files in a folder - but it doesn't get
real bad until you get past 10-15000.
