Repository size not decreasing after deleting a file.
Hi, I was curious to know if deleting a file from the repository also decrease the size of the repository, but this is not true. To verify this, I check the size of the repository before adding 30 MB data into into, after adding I again checked the size of the repository it is still the same. Is this known feature ? Thanks -RR

You can not delete anything irrevocably, this is a design karma of Subversion. In other words, even a deleted file is only deleted in the HEAD revision but still present in older revisions. Is this known feature ? Yes.

It only get deleted from current version, file still exists in earlier revisions.

Yes this is pretty much known, Subversion does not have a obliterate command.

Re: Repository size not decreasing after deleting a file.
Hi Yes, it is a feature, not a bug. The whole point of using a repository is that you can always go back to a previous revision, so the file needs to still be there.

Thanks to all of you for quick replies. Suppose somebody added a big chunk of data to repository by mistake and want to delete that from all revisions; is there a way exists to achieve this ? -RR
