Aditi Maurya commented on SVN-525:
----------------------------------
Hello!
I work with polyglot.network and am reasonably good with C programming, but not
familiar with Subversion internals and codebase. If some core devs can propose
a high-level plan for fixing this, I would like to take this up.
> Allow working copies without .svn/pristine/ cache (a.k.a. "text-base/" files).

> 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.)
