Karl Fogel commented on SVN-525:
--------------------------------
Hey, [~cruel_soul] . I saw your message in IRC. Since IRC servers don't
preserve messages when you're not logged in, I'll respond here too:
Definitely all discussions should be had in the #svn-dev channel, not in DM.
The channel exists for the purpose of development discussion, and everyone will
be glad to have the Issue #525 discussions there! I'm on Atlantic Time (far
eastern Canada) right now, so we might not overlap in IRC at all times, but
there might be other developers around in #svn-dev who can answer questions.
(And since I'm leaving my IRC client running even when I sleep, as much as
possible, I'll see those discussions later if I wasn't around when they
happened.)
> 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.
> A much more technically thorough explanation of this issue and its background

> (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.)
