How big can a repository get?
I have a 30GB repository with version 1.4.
What is the size limit before I should worry?

Both Apache & KDE are well over 600K revisions IIRC.

As I posted yesterday, I do not observe this behavior. The trunk for
one of my projects is about 1GB, exported. I've made at least 36 tags.
The dumpfile for the *entire repository* is only 12GB. If I were to
be doing whatever it is that you're doing, it should be at least 37GB.

Hi,
I want to stop this thread because the issue is clear
everyone not able to see this issue I would recomment the
following test
1. create an empty rep
2. fill it

That's odd. I can't see why tags should do that; they should produce
just a few bytes of dump data.
For what it's worth, we do backup with "svnadmin hotcopy" and then tar
up the copy. Works great; the reposity is perhaps twice the size you
have.

As it was said in a previous post I would not recommend a dump for backup
purposes! I did use them a while ago too, but I skip this now. Instead I
use hotcopies.
Dumps makes sense in cases when a normal "svn hotcopy"-ied repo would not
be readable by a newer svn version, or when an automatic optimization to a
newer format is impossible.

FSFS packing (just merged to trunk today, and now due in 1.6) will help solve
this problem by squashing completed shards into a single file, rather than
individual ones.

Perhaps http://subversion.tigris.org/testimonials.html would be more
appropriate for testimonials :)

Maybe some of these testemonials can be merged to a faq entry and put in

Our largest is 112G. If you are using FSFS, the biggest
limitation is probably the file system (individual
revision size and number of revisions, since they
are mapped to individual files in the file system.)
