Reducing the size of the .svn folder
In our project we made the decision to reduce the build time by using pre-built binaries. Weekly/monthly we create a stable release and commit it to the repository. The build uses these binaries instead of building everything from source. For build speed this is fantastic. But, unsurprisingly, it really bulks up the SVN checkout size. Our trunk currently sits at ~22 GB. I realize this is not the intended usage of Subversion. But we don't have an alternative at the moment. But I'd like to improve the current situation. The .svn folder makes a big contribution to the size of trunk on disk. When
