APR HEAD has large file support out-of-the-box on platforms with a
32-bit off_t, so Subversion should "just work" there. APR 0.9 can be
rebuilt with LFS support using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 etc but that's not
really a supported configuration since it changes the library ABI and is
generally a good way to shoot yourself in the foot if you're not
careful.
The APR 0.9 branch has some "large file features": the APR_LARGEFILE
flag to apr_file_open(), which lets you open and write/read >2gb files,
but you still can't stat them (useful for log files). Also I made
apr_file_copy() work with >2gb files on Linux at least (despite my
ardent protestation that that wasn't an APR problem :), so that should
make the svnadmin hotcopy issue go away.
