RE: Query regarding File storage in FSFS SVN Repository

Well, I did some more tweaking and found out that there is another directory under db named: "revs". It contains the same revision files and the latest revision file "3" contains the sample text that I entered in the file.

"SVN""ąThis is a new version of the file.ENDREP"

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the contents of the file.

Hi Phil,
        Thanks. This makes things a bit clearer. But I still have one query.
Where does, SVN store the information inside the files? Suppose, I check-in a file with some text ("This is a sample file") inside it and the repository version now is updated as 3.

All, I can see in the file named 3 inside "/db/revprops" (Subversion Repository) is the following:

K 10
svn:author
V 7
userA
K 8
svn:date
V 27
2006-01-10T16:18:34.853536Z
K 7
svn:log
V 17
Modified the file
END

Where is the text ("This is a sample file") that I checked-into the file?

Regards,
Maninder Singh

The information is inside the 0, 1, 2, ... files.

Think of it like a grid:

         file_A file_B file_C file_D
rev 0
rev 1
rev 2
rev 3

In CVS you have one file for each COLUMN of this grid. So "file_A,v" contains rev 0 to rev 3 of file_A. In contrast, in SVN, you have one file for each ROW of this grid. So "1" contains rev 1 of file_A, file_B, etc.
