revision number wrap around
Hi all,
I didn't find documentation about this, please point me to that in the case
you know. SVN uses a unique number for a whole repository, i.e., for all the
projects within it, is there the possibility that the revision number wraps
around? Is there something that should be done from the repository
administrator and that can inform the administrator of this incoming problem?
Thanks,
Luca

The revision number is a 32-bit integer, so you probably won't run
out of revision numbers for centuries. Here is previous discussion of
this topic:

The current maximum limit of the revision number is 2^31. That should
give you a commit each second for the next ... 68 years.
By that time, we probably have increased it to 63 bits.
HTH,
Erik.
