svnadmin hotcopy clarification required

Hi,

I have a repository (FSFS) of size 59.7 GB and I just took a hotcopy backup of this repository. The process was successfully completed but the resulting hotcopy differed greatly in size from the original repository. (Hotcopy Size: 55.3 GB). I realize that there is a possibility of data addition in original repository while backup was in progress resulting in the huge size difference but that is not the case here, original repository was around 59.7 GB in size before starting the hotcopy. I even tried again just to make sure that I did everything right and it gave the same results again.

I have tried to verify the contents of both the repositories and they seem just fine to me (identical). Hotcopy version is working without a problem too. The difference in size has raised some doubt in my mind though. Can anyone please clarify if this difference in size is normal? Or any robust way to verify the hot copy version against original repository? Thanks.

Server Details:
SVN 1.4.5
Apache 2.2.6
Windows XP Professional SP2
