Hi Daniel, 

Thanks for the insights, it really helps.  As we had already used 91% of 
our SVN Disk, We are looking to cleanup space and move our older code 
branches to a cold storage(later retrieval if needed) than keep it in our 
server. Can you please help us with pointers from your experience to 
cleanup any particular way?


Not more than the links to the SVN book.

It will be a lot of work migrating your history to a new repository since 
this will invalidate all existing working copies on all developer's 
machines. It is probably a LOT cheaper to just buy some more disk, since 
this only affects the server.

Kind regards,
Daniel

 


Regards,
Mahesh B.

Thanks Daniel. I have below questions. When you mean Dump , I think,  these 
repositories will not be available for any later retrieval right. 


Dump means extracting all revision data to a local text file which you can 
then import to a new repository. Obviously, to reduce disk usage you need 
to remove the original repository, at which time it is no longer available. 
Please have look at the SVN book: 
https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.tk
 

Also, We add folder and delete folders in the SVN Right? Does deletion not 
reduce the svn storage consumed?


No, not at the repository. Subversion is a version control system, it 
ensures it is possible to go back in time to a previous point (revision) 
and see exactly what was in the repository at that time. It would not be 
possible to do that if you could delete a file from the repository. Please 
also see https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#removal

Kind regards,
Daniel
