Thanks for this life-saver.

Team work is on steroids today. Great :)

I'll report the results with --deltas option.

Any opinions on remerging ChangeLog? I don't
insist on it, as it became huge enough to
cause a delay on each open/save sessions.

Brgds,
Viktor

 * ChangeLog
 + ChangeLog-old
   + Created ChangeLog-old which currently holds entries
     belonging to 1.0.1 and older versions, moved from main
     ChangeLog. From time to time we should move additional
entries there from main ChangeLog to not let main ChangeLog grow too large. Updating files causes SVN dumps
     to contain the whole file each time it's changed, which
     means a large ChangeLog has a dramatic effect on the
size of the SVN dump. We're at 12.4GB at this moment, much of this is ChangeLog copies (about ~4000 of them).


Hi,


finally I've found the text "on the paper", I has somethere deep inside my memory. Here is the real solution:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.pdf page 141:

By default, the dump file will be quite large—much larger than the repository itself. That's because by default every version of every file is expressed as a full text in the dump file. This is the fastest and simplest behavior, and it's nice if you're piping the dump data directly into some other process (such as a compression program, filtering program, or loading process). But if you're creating a dump file for longer-term storage, you'll likely want to save disk space by using the --deltas option. With this option, successive revisions of files will be output as compressed, binary differences—just as file revisions are stored in a repository. This option is slower, but it results in a dump file much closer in size to the original repository.


Regards,
Mindaugas
