RE: svn_dirent_t::size: often not the "real" file size

The size reported is the size of the file in repository form. The size might
be different when a different line end encoding is used and/or when keyword
expansion is enabled. (Can be larger or smaller)

svn_client_statusX() reports both sizes when the file is a ‘normal’ working
copy file.

The list function works 100% repository side and we simply don’t know the
size the file would be in some working copy, as the size might be different
in other working copies.

Subject: svn_dirent_t::size: often not the "real" file size

Hi SVN developers,

I am working on an TotalCommander plugin to browse SVN repositories. Now I
have the problem that on some repositories the filesize reported by
svn_client_list3 is different from the “real” file size of the working copy
– so comparing the SVN repo with the working copy is impossible. So here are
my questions on this issue:

* Is there a way for a SVN client to detect the “real” filesize?

* Does this behavior change with the server version? I have one
server where the filesize seems to match, another server where it does not
match.

* If there are servers that reports “real” file sizes: is there a
client functionality to detect if he is connected to a server with “good”
behavior?

This may be not the correct way to do a compare, there would be better ways
using the SVN interface. But I am limited to the TC plugin interface. And in
this interface there is no “Compare with file” function. I have just to
deliver the correct properties, and TC itself does the operation in a way
the user has configured it.

Cheers,
