Daniel Shahaf commented on SVN-525:
-----------------------------------
Property values can be any byte string, just like file contents, but they are
assumed to be small enough to be stored in memory. Storing a large file will
not perform well (and might result in timeouts, string length limits being
exceeded, and so on). In any case, we don't hold discussions on jira, so
please let's continue this on the mailing list. Thanks!
(Also, «propget --strict» will not emit the cosmetic trailing newline.)
> 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.)
