Or you can use a db backend, which uses far fewer files, instead of the
fs backend.
And just because you develop on windows does not mean your server must
run windows. I develop an embedded system on windows because that is
where the vendor tools are supplied, but I migrated our server to linux
to host the svn repo and bug tracking database, because these tools
simply run better under linux and the server is more reliable too.
