Karl Fogel updated SVN-525:
---------------------------
Description:
{noformat:nopanel=true}
It's possible to make the cached pristine files in .svn/pristine/ optional.
Doing so would be a huge
storage savings on the client side, and would make Subversion even more
compelling as a system
for managing medium-large binary files.
(Note that the cached pristine base versions used to be in .svn/text-base/, so
you'll probably see
references to that old location throughout this ticket. Also, there used to be
one .svn/ directory per
working tree directory; later that was changed to one .svn/ directory at the
top of the working tree.
Knowing that might also help clarify some of the older comments in this ticket.)
{noformat}
was:
{noformat:nopanel=true}
Someday, it's theoretically possible to improve subversion such that it does
*not* rely on the existence of cached, pristine files in .svn/text-base/. It's
a big change, though. There are comments throughout libsvn_wc that mention the
option.
{noformat}
> Allow working copies without .svn/pristine/ files (a.k.a. "text-base/" files).
