How many / how big?
I have one 1.6 WC in regular use, and five 1.7 WCs, all checkouts of
trunk that have been in use for a few weeks since the last "svn
cleanup". I checked the size of 1.6 tmp files with "find . -path
"*/.svn/tmp/*" -type f -exec cat {} \; | wc -c" and of 1.7 pristines
with "du -s .svn/pristine/", subtracting 45 MB from the latter as the
approximate size of a current trunk pristine text store.
1.6 WC: 6 MB
1.7 WC: 133 - 45 = 88 MB
1.7 WC: 209 - 45 = 164 MB
1.7 WC: 165 - 45 = 120 MB
1.7 WC: 121 - 45 = 76 MB
1.7 WC: 99 - 45 = 54 MB
A quick glance at my 1.6 tmp files indicates the main difference is that
(most of) the 1.6 tmp files are only created for files that have local
mods, whereas the 1.7 pristines accumulate on every incoming change
across the whole WC.
