Which version does your repo has and which Subversion does your server
use? Did you just upgrade your repo or made a full dump and load cycle
with current versions of Subversion? New features like representation
sharing could reduce the size of your repo a lot by preserving the
history full history and working copies.

If you drop revisions, your working copies get useless and you have to
checkout everything new. Just compare that time with whatever costs
your currently maybe larger repo produces. You can easily compare the
benefits of all approaches by copying your current repo and create a
new one in the current format with dump/load and create a new with
only the least revisions you want.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
