A neon checkout of Subversion adds 6 lines to access.log while a serf checkout adds 4183 lines, that's 3 orders of magnitude. A server that previously had space for 1 year of logs may now fill the space in less than 1 day. Actively maintained sites are probably OK. I'm worried about less actively maintained servers that need no day-to-day attention because they "just work", such servers may stop working and require reconfiguration. Maybe it's not a problem, I'm not an expert on server admin. -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
