Actually, once you get used to *immediate* reply to svn diff and stat, you don't want to go back to wait for a few seconds.

Anyway, I'm sure SVN people would be happy if you help finishing the summer of code project that was left undone, if you are really interested in this. Personally I'm way more annoyed by the fact that the local copy confuses grep, than the disk space it takes. -- Giovanni Bajo
