Isn't the revision size still limited by the maximum file size of the
server's file system? In the case of Win32, I think that's 4GB. This
may seem like a high limit, but it still creates a limiting factor for
large repositories with lots of large binary files (we have a lot of
3D art in our repository, for example). We use Linux servers, but as
we move to local repositories on artist workstations via SVK, this is
becoming an issue. It seems like splitting large revision files, and
streaming them together when read would be a "simple" fix.
