I have a checkout of the gcc tree, it has 78,000 files. Now it uses svn: but if it were to use http: then the serf checkout log would be 4 orders of magnitude bigger than the neon log. 83 years becomes 1 or 2 days. The neon log is independent of the size of the checkout, the serf log scales with the size of the checkout. If this were memory we would say we have a scaling problem. Do scaling problems not apply to disk space? -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
