RE: SVN take up twice the space?

Jack,

This is normal SVN behaviour. This is how SVN minimizes access to the
repository/network. I don't think there is a way to turn this off.

Of course if you do an svn export you lose the .svn directories and
you'll get a clean copy. But this is probably not what you want, because
you lose the connection with the repository as well.

Regards,
Stephane

Subject: SVN take up twice the space?

I am new to SVN, just got my server setup and all of my Repositories
working.
So far I love it, but, it is taking up twice the space it would normally
take up. It put a copy of the file in the .svn folder, on the client
computers. That is ok on some of my respositories because I am working
with small files, but on others I use large ISOs and virtual drives
files 1-10+GB in size, and now everything is 5-20+GB in size.
Is this normal? If it is, is there any way I can turn the .svn off? I am
guessing they use the stored file are some sort of reference so it can
tell what exactly has changed in the file.

Thanks
