It's part of the code I was committing. I was assuming that svn has
written the file correctly at the correct size but some weird
interaction between svn and NFS or CFS has caused the file size to grow
to the end of the block. Perhaps. Next time I'll do an ls on the file
size before and after any edits and verify whether it's on a block boundary.

The standard subversion client in the package for Fedora Core 3, X86-64
version. I just upgraded to 1.2.0 yesterday, prior to that I was
running 1.1.4.

The backend is running on a remote machine but the repository storage is
local to that machine. I'm aware of the problems with NFS and BDB and
amn't doing that.

Is the frontend using any kind of BDB? I thought it was all XML and diffs?

Thanks in advance,
