I noticed that the size of the .svn/pristine directory can get huge over time (several times the expected size). A "svn cleanup" solves the problem, but 1. this isn't documented (I'm wondering how many users know that); 2. this isn't automatic.
About (2), svn could warn the user when a cleanup could be needed. I don't know what is the best solution. I've reported a bug on the Debian BTS about that: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731769 -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
