How do you figure that the drive space on your local drive is consumed
during a commit? What tool do you use to figure this out?
I know that Subversion creates temp files containing the diff of a
commit which it then sends to the repository. If you have 8GB new data,
then that would mean temp files the size of those 8GB.

Anyway: if you think this is bad, you have to tell that on the
Subversion mailing list, because TSVN is only a Subversion client, using
the official Subversion library to do its tasks.
