SVN Overwrite & .SVN size
Hello All,
My organization are recently moving from a licenced
SCM system to Subversion.
But then we are facing some problems in SVN. It will
be of great help if anyone can help me with the
following issues:
1. The whole source tree is about 2 GB in size. But
unfortunatly after migrating to SVN when I tried to
checkout the code, its around 8 GB in size. Thats
mainly due to addition of .svn directories. Can I
avoid this?
2. SVN doesnt provide over-write option when we need
to checkout. In the current scenario I have some 10%
source's checked in and the rest are provided by a
third party. The code that is checked is used to
customize the third party software. Hence only the
files that is customized is checked in the SCM system.
It doesnt make sense to version control the third
party software. When I checkout I need to only
over-write the customized code i.e. checkout on an
existing folder. How is it possible through
Subversion?
Please help.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards
Keerti

Thanks Ryan!!!
That was a precise answer I was looking for though
none of my problems are solved so far.
About Issue 1:
Does any one know the status of the Summer Project. Is
there any progress on this front. Looking desperately
for one. My people dont just want to move to
Subversion as they do not have enough disk space!
About Issue 2:
I went through Vendor Braching. Its very convincing.
But again, the problem here is, the third party source
code is running into the size of 2 GB. Since we work
on multiple versions at the same time, it will consume
a lot of time downloading the third party software
version. Had only the over-write option been designed
into SVN...
Please help.
Thanks for the responses.
Regards
Keerti

You cannot currently avoid this. The ability to have a working copy
without .svn directories has been requested:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=525
This was supposed to be a Google Summer of Code project this year. I
don't know if it got completed.
The ability to have the .svn directories compressed is also an
existing request:

It is useful to version third-party code, and the process of doing so
is described in the book in the section on vendor branches:
