Re: db/fsfs possible question

FSFS repositories are still a database, they're just using a different back
end than the BDB databases repositories.

The files are in REPODIR/db/revs

There's one file per _REVISION_.

If you want to look at the files on the linux box, check out a copy
somewhere (on the linux box).

An example of the files (on Windows, because that's all I have access to at
the moment):

H:\>mkdir t

H:\>cd t

H:\t>svnadmin create t

H:\t>dir t\db\revs
 Volume in drive H is Data
 Volume Serial Number is D87D-950D

 Directory of H:\t\t\db\revs

05/18/2007 13:43 <DIR> .
05/18/2007 13:43 <DIR> ..
05/18/2007 13:43 115 0

NOTE: The only file is '0' because where at revision 0

H:\t>set r=file:///h:/t/t

H:\t>svn mkdir %r%/trunk %r%/tags %r%/branches -m "Initial Directory
Structure"

Committed revision 1.

H:\t>dir t\db\revs
 Volume in drive H is Data
 Volume Serial Number is D87D-950D

 Directory of H:\t\t\db\revs

05/18/2007 13:46 <DIR> .
05/18/2007 13:46 <DIR> ..
05/18/2007 13:43 115 0
05/18/2007 13:46 532 1

NOTE: Now there are two files: '0' for revision 0, and '1' for revision one
(in which the three created directories live: because they were 'commited'
as one atomic revision.

What this means in practice, that all changes made during a commit are
stored in the filename corresponding to that number. But, keep in mind that
this is still a database, you should not go poking about in there.
