I've noticed several times that 'svn cleanup' trims down the .svn/pristine/ hierarchy:
[[[ svn/t1% ls .svn/pristine/*/*base | wc -l 2046 svn/t1% $svn cleanup svn/t1% ls .svn/pristine/*/*base | wc -l 1835 ]]] Are pristines purged at other times? If not, should we release-note a recommendation to run 'cleanup' periodically?
