> It's possible to make the cached pristine files in .svn/pristine/ optional.  Doing so would be a huge storage savings on the client side, and would make Subversion even more compelling as a system for managing medium-large binary files.
> A much more technically thorough explanation of this issue and its background is available in [this 2020-12-29 comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-525?focusedCommentId=17256056&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17256056] below.
> (Note that the cached pristine base versions used to be stored in .svn/text-base/, so you'll probably see references to that old location throughout this ticket.  Also, there used to be one .svn/ directory per working tree directory; later that was changed to one .svn/ directory at the top of the working tree.  Knowing that might also help clarify some of the older comments in this ticket.)
