- <a class="sectionlink" href="#wc-ng"
- title="Link to this section">¶</a>
-</h3>
-
-<p>Subversion 1.7 features a complete re-write of the working copy
-metadata management system of Subversion, code named WC-NG. The old system
-was one of the first parts of Subversion written, and over time had grown
-difficult to maintain and extend. WC-NG is intended to provide an
-immediate performance improvement, while also enabling many future feature
-enhancements.</p>
-
-<p>Although Subversion 1.7 does not introduce these new features, the
-improvements in the working copy storage make them much more likely to
-appear in future releases.</p>
-
-<p>A number of known (and unknown) bugs have been fixed by the new working
-copy metadata system (see
-<a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3357";>issue
-#3357</a>).</p>

-<h4>Centralized Metadata Storage
- <a class="sectionlink" href="#single-db"
- title="Link to this section">¶</a>
-</h4>
-
-<p>A key feature of the changes introduced in Subversion 1.7 is the
-centralization of working copy metadata storage into a single location.
-Instead of a <tt>.svn</tt> directory in every directory in the working
-copy, Subversion 1.7 working copies have just one <tt>.svn</tt>
-directory—in the root of the working copy. This directory includes
-(among other things) an SQLite-backed database which contains all of the
-metadata Subversion needs for that working copy.</p>
-
-<p>Even though the data is stored in a structured format, the relationships
-between the data are complex. We highly discourage external tools from
-modifying the data held in this database, as such modification is likely to
-result in working copy corruption.</p>
-
-<p></p>
-
-<div class="notice"><span style="color: red"><b>WARNING:</b></span> It is not
- safe to copy an SQLite file while it's being accessed via the SQLite
- libraries. Consequently, duplicating a working copy (using <tt>tar</tt>,
- <tt>cp</tt>, or <tt>rsync</tt>) that is being accessed by a Subversion
- process is not supported for Subversion 1.7 working copies, and may
- cause the duplicate (new) working copy to be created corrupted. (See <a

-<h4>Pristine Contents
- <a class="sectionlink" href="#wc-pristines"
- title="Link to this section">¶</a>
-</h4>
-
-<p>Subversion keeps a record of the unmodified contents of all files in the
-working copy. Historically, these have been called <em>text-bases</em>, but
-in Subversion 1.7, they have received a new name, and a new home. With the
-centralization of metadata, the text-bases have been renamed
-<em>pristines</em>, and are now located in the same <tt>.svn</tt>
-directory as the working copy metadata.</p>
-
-<p>The pristines are stored by checksum in a sharded format. Any files
-in the working copy which have the same pristine content will now share
-references to the pristine store, making such working copies slightly
-smaller. Running <tt>svn cleanup</tt> will remove any pristines which
-are no longer needed by the current state of the working copy.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Note:</strong> In 1.7, we recommend to run <tt>svn cleanup</tt>
-periodically in order to claim
-back the disk space of unreferenced pristines. We expect a future Subversion
-release to purge unreferenced (and thus unused) pristines automatically; see

-
-<p>Subversion 1.7 introduces substantial changes to the working copy format.
-In previous releases of Subversion, Subversion would automatically update
-the working copy to the new format when a write operation was performed.
-Subversion 1.7, however, will make this a manual step. Before using
-Subversion 1.7 with their working copies, users will be required
-to run a new command, <tt>svn upgrade</tt> to update the metadata to the
-new format. This command may take a while, and for some users, it may be more
-practical to simply checkout a new working copy.</p>

- <a class="sectionlink" href="#serf"

-
-<p>The <code>libsvn_ra_serf</code> repository access library has received
-a lot of improvements and stabilization.
-The design of <a href="http://code.google.com/p/serf/";>serf</a> facilitates
-future performance improvements that are impossible to achieve with
-<a href="http://www.webdav.org/neon/";>neon</a>. There were plans to make
-serf the default HTTP access library for the 1.7 release.
-But because of some remaining issues (for instance
-<a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3979";
- >issue #3979</a>,
-<a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3980";
- >issue #3980</a>, and
-<a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3981";
- >issue #3981</a>),
-Subversion 1.7 still uses neon by default.
-Remaining problems are mostly due to insufficient infrastructure deployed
-in the wild wild web, such as HTTP proxies that do not support HTTP/1.1.
-Workarounds for these problems will be implemented for the next release.
-serf will become the default HTTP access library in Subversion 1.8.
-</p>
-<p>
-In the meantime, we encourage all users to try serf with Subversion 1.7 and
-<a href="/docs/community-guide/issues.html#reporting-bugs"
->report any problems</a>. Successful test reports are appreciated as well.
-Tests in networks that use HTTP proxies or enterprise authentication are
-particularly helpful.
-You can configure which library the client should use on a default or
-host-by-host basis by setting the <tt>http-library</tt> variable in the
-client-side <tt>servers</tt> configuration file
-(<tt>~/.subversion/servers</tt>).</p>

-<p>The <strong>MaxKeepAliveRequests</strong> option in <tt>httpd.conf</tt>
-needs to be increased from 100 (the default) to <b>at least</b> 1000
-(there is no reason why it could not be 10000).
-This will improve performance by allowing serf clients to use fewer
-TCP connections to the server.
-Clients using neon will also work fine with this configuration.</p>
