 Thanks David, I was in fact looking for to restrict / inform people who has
put file greater than certain size in the repo. I think for future would be
better to write a hook which disallow file by size.
 I was looking for all versions of a file.

Are you looking for current versions or all versions of all file file?

The only version control system I know of which could do the latter was was
ClearCase and only if you used dynamic views since that allowed you to "see"
all versions of all files. And, doing something like that took forever.

Subversion doesn't really store individual files or versions because it
works on the entire repository, so you couldn't even scan the repository for
particular suspect files like you could in RCS or systems that use RCS like
files.

The only way I know is to checkout, and scan. You could write a script to do
like an "svn cat" and count the file size that way, but it wouldn't be any
quicker.
