When you mention "repo", is it actually the repository you refer to or is it a working copy? The repository, which is stored on the server, contains only a few directories (and the actual content is stored under db\revs\...) and there is no relation between the path on the server and the actual path of the content. (In the thread http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-users/202103.mbox/%3cpr3pr06mb6922399f737ad222b28e1263f5...@pr3pr06mb6922.eurprd06.prod.outlook.com%3e there is some information on how the content is stored in the repository). 1. sensitive files must be kept on encrypted file system, but to put the > entire repo is too slow; > Since you most probably have multiple working copies and individual developers can check out a new working copy wherever they want, I think it will be difficult to implement such a policy across your organization. Unless you have very specific hardware/software limitations I would suggest to take the performance hit and encrypt everything. (This might also apply to the disk on the server where the actual repository is stored). > 2. sometimes we want to test different versions without checking out the > entire repo; > You can do this by checking out only the specific subfolder that is of interest at this time. For example, Subversion's source code is stored in the following repository: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ However most developers would checkout just the /subversion/trunk subfolder: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/ or maybe even https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/ 3. we want to keep large data files in the repo on SSD instead of HDD > > I know one solution is to use external link, but that requires multiple > repo and extra work for svnadmin.
