I've also tried to address that problem. As far as I can see, the svn
server side is not aware of the file sizes at all. Would it be a problem
to add the size to each file as a property or something that can be read
with svnlook?
I could do this using a client side script and a custom property, but
there is no way to ensure that the user will not fake a smaller file
size by manually set this property.
I guess the developers are busy with the upcoming 1.3 release, but it
would be nice to hear if they are aware of the problem.
thanks,
Kjell
