One thing to be aware of is that properties were never designed to be large. Property values are always transmitted in full text between client and server (i.e., they're not compressed); they're stored in full text in the repository (not deltified the way file contents are). So the more large properties you have, and the more often you modify them, the less efficient your repository will be, in terms of storage requirements and network bandwidth. So while you should be able to store a 2 gig property value, I really, really recommend not to do that. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco | Realising the impossibilities of Big Data e. br...@wandisco.com
