Moving our rather large and complex system from CVS to Subversion and
ran into an interesting issue. I've read that Subversion now handles
symlinks, which was good because we just moved over to a new symlink
based file override system. So we have a lot of symlinks. Our normal
app size is about 750mb, with images, Flash, etc. When I import it into
Subversion though, it balloons to 2.3GB. When I look at the folders
that have a lot of symlinks, it looks like there is a copy of the
original file in the .svn/text-base folder. I don't really understand
that. If Subversion is supposedly just managing the symlink, why is the
target file data imported in? Is there a better way to manage all these
symlinks with Subversion?
