Re: FSFS vs BDB

I've always used FSFS. Mainly because it is easier to maintain and has
fewer headaches. No wedging issues, etc.

However, FSFS can be slower in certain circumstances. Plus, FSFS makes
Subversion's data structure harder to modify. (This really doesn't
affect the users, but the developers. I bet the developers would
rather everyone use DBD, so they can simplify the structure).

Originally, Subversion only used DBD. FSFS was added in Subversion 1.2
and made the default in Subversion 1.3.

This page should explain everything:
