I am on a team that began using subversion near the end of last year. As a part of our process, we tag each successful run of our systems. This can mean thousands of tags for certain systems every six months. We=92re having an issue with the db/revs directory size, which for all our projects currently exceeds 289G. We only use relatively small working directories containing less than a meg of text files; no binary files. In the archives, I found a mention that the db/revs directories are populated using xdelta, but there didn=92t appear to be a solution to large file sizes at time [http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-08/0229.shtml ]. I was hoping someone may have found a work-around or solution. Would someone be able to: 1) suggest how to avoid this in the future 2) suggest how to reduce the current large files (if possible) Thank you. Andr=E9 Harper
