With some pretty important drawbacks, the no diff/conflict resolution would be a dealbreaker for me * The svn diff command is rendered useless, as the repository itself is comprised, entirely, of encrypted data. * The repository will be enormous. Because the data is all encrypted with a block cipher, Subversion will be incapable of efficiently storing diffs, and compression programs (such as BZip) will, also, have little effect. A few basic tests have shown a 300% increase in repository size, making it wise to restrict the amount of data stored therein. * Conflict-resolution via subversion will also be useless. If a conflict occurs, you'll have to manually merge the two versions on the mountpoint. -- __________________________________________________________________________________ Sword Ciboodle is the trading name of ciboodle Limited (a company registered in Scotland with registered number SC143434 and whose registered office is at India of Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, UK, PA4 9LH) which is part of the Sword Group of companies.
