RE: repo size discrepency when loading from dump

Yes that seems to be the difference.

I had one of my developers check one repository that was much smaller on the
new server and the current revision matches.

I have an issue with subversion dumps (RHEL 5.2; subversion 1.5.0; viewvc
1.0.7) when I'm trying to load onto a new server (CentOS 5.4; subversion
1.6.11; viewvc 1.0.11). On disk, the size of the folder for one of the
repositories is 1.3gb. When I do a dump, the file size is 1.3gb.

However, when I load on the new server, it finishes with no errors but the
size is 440mb.

I tried the same thing with another repository with the same results. The
initial size is just over 2gb but after loading on the new box, it is only
1.3gb

Are there differences in the new version that is essentially normal behavior
to see this size reduction?

 Did you performed some sanity checks to your data like looking at history,
I really don't see any issue if dump completed successfully there were many
Filesystem storage improvements in Subversion 1.6 size reduction may be due
to that.
