Re: Question about maximum size of svn repository (svn 1.6.1, backend as FSFS)

There is no physical limitation to Subversion. There isn't a magic
number where there are more files than it can track or more
directories.

There may be limits with the actual operating system. For example,
some operating systems can't handle files larger than 2Gb. Or, Windows
having problems with directory/file names longer than 160 characters.
But, these would be true with ANY software you use.

There could be issues with speed as your repository gets bigger and
bigger, but there are sites out there running thousands of "projects"
on a single Subversion server and hundreds of users without any
problems.

How big is your project that you are worried about possible
limitations? Give us an idea of possible size issues, and someone on
the list with a similar sized project can tell you what to expect in
terms of performance.
