I honestly do not know what you are talking about. Even my NeXTstation
from 1994 has 512MB disk space, 24MB of RAM and is perfectly capable
of dealing with the Svn client.
Have you tried running it and are you satisfied with the performance?
Also, if you are at 5Mb per tool, you're not going to have room for many
tools on that machine.
For all of MJ's bitching, the svn binary (which is all you use to do
checking in/out & commit, is 84 kilobytes, and the respective
libsvn_client library is a whopping 125 kilobytes. I know some of you
may still have 80GB SCSI-I hard drives, but even those of you who do can
clearly afford the RAMspace </pedant>
Facetiousness aside, it's important to consider
human factors costs when talking about disk space, not just the cost per
GB down at the local Walmart (or whatever its European equivalent ;).
You have the machines you have, sometimes you can't just add a disk but
have to swap it (e.g., laptops), which can cause major administrative
overhead, sometimes it might be a work machine you have little control
over, etc.. Also, it's easy to pooh pooh the resource cost for any
given tool (what's 5Mb after all?), but it's more the principle of it --
if you never care about resources, they get consumed pretty quickly.
(Think of money here.. ;)
Regarding voting, maybe you could explain why you think it's a bad idea?
He's not going to do that, because that will show him for the hack he
is, and because he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
