So apparently this is a limitation of svn2cvs. It uses a lot more space to represent tags and branches than would be required if they had been created in svn directly. Unfortunately it's a hard problem to solve any better than it is. > Markus Bertheau wrote: > >> Here's what the subversion book has to say about that: >> >> http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/ch05.html#svn-ch-5-sect-1.2.A >> >> We use svn over ssh and recently switched to fsfs because of the umask >> problem and because read-only access to bdb causes writes to the >> database.

I'm not sure what this says about maturity, you realize read-only access to CVS also does writes to the repository? There are patches to change this floating around but it's never been merged "upstream" because there is no "upstream" maintainer any more. I guess if you want mature software you can't get any more mature than using orphaned packages. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
