SVN creates a huge db

[Mike Feimster]

Bodvar,

It appears that the transactions folder is like a staging folder. I
could see files it in while I was committing, but it was empty when the
commit was finished.

Just a swag, but you might want to create a repository on your local
drive and see if you can add the manual to that repository. Those folder
sizes seem big (my experience is that the files take up less disk space
in the repository than on your hard drive) but the transaction folder
might require a lot of space to work.

Subject: SVN creates a huge db

I was doing my first real testing on SVN (TortoiseSVN) yesterday. I have
been issued a meager 8GB space on a server (Windows 2003 Server) shared
with another kind of database.

I had cleaned up a set of my largest manual consisting of a several
hundred files after deletion of all files except the main fm and book
files and a few graphic files, all in all 250MB of files. These I
uploaded to a new repository and imported it into the database where it
seemed to add a lot of files fast, until, ending on the
'db\transactions\4-1.txn\rev', which apparently froze. After more than
half an hour, suddenly the size sprang from some 5GB to more than 7GB
and left me with the message: 'There is not enough space on the disk.'

I have googled and searched some of the SVN related users lists and have
not seen any explanation to this. This seems too bloated to be normal
IMHO.

Can anyone on the list help me or explain this to me?

Thanks beforehand,
