Carlos, It's not before been an issue. Perhaps I should consider git. You're right in writing that a tool such as a version control system should store initial files and diffs in a easily-read format to be used by any vcs. I removed the repository and the project directory's .svn subdirectory, then recreated the former and started over again. For this project it's no big deal to lose all 130+ former versions.
