Karl Fogel commented on SVN-525:
--------------------------------
By the way, [~cruel_soul], I'm going to hang out in the #svn-dev IRC channel at
irc.freenode.net when I'm online (my nick there is "kfogel"), in case you want
to have real-time discussions. I don't know what time zone you're in, but that
IRC channel can be very useful for getting answers quickly, and developers are
located around the world. There's more information about it here:
[http://subversion.apache.org/faq#more-information] .
> 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 stored 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.)
