Progressing. Follow along in the dev@ thread "A two-part vision for Subversion

> 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.)
