Save space of .svn/text-base/*.svn-base for local usage?

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to save the space consumed by 
<working_copy>/.svn/text-base/*.svn-base when using SVN in a purely 
local fashion. Both my repository and working copy are on my local 
filesystem and I'm using the file:/// protocol for repository access.

Perhaps this is a naive question, but it seems to me that if svn needs 
to compare my working copy of a file against the repository version, and 
that repository is local, it should be able to skip caching the 
repository version under .svn/text-base (which seems much more necessary 
in a networked scenario).

So, is it possible to configure svn not to cache repository copies under 
.svn/text-base?

Thanks for any info!

Sorry, it's not currently possible. See:
