i have svn repository 8 gb when measure folder size on server.
but when check out locally (simply checking out full repository root, branches/tags) 50+ gb (still counting).
it seems svn job @ compressing content. how come size different?
and there way of computing actual size of repository without having full checkout locally?
when make branch of folder in repository contents of folder not copied. no point in wasting space on mere duplication of data. more info see chapter branching in book, boxed text @ end of section creating branches, titled cheap copies.
as question of actual size, there no way compute that know of, doubt if necessary. if there no room, make room. main point don't need branches in working copy, checkout really need.
