If you wanted to say something about .svn, read this (Was Another

I believe searching the issue tracker might prove fruitful. Or older
list archives. However, finding the articles might not be at all
trivial, so no blame for that.
Anyway, I will try to enumerate here the ideas and issues regarding
.svn that I recall:
* .svn directory is too big
- get rid of text-base (issue #525)
- not have one at all
- create text base on-demand
- compress files (issue #908)
* .svn directory contents
- rename files to some hash name or similar
- combine files to a single file or database
- diddle read-onlyness (issue #1294)
* .svn directory name or existence
- allow customization of directory name
- store directory somewhere else (issue #707)
I only spent a few moments gathering the issue numbers, but there are
several more there.
Perhaps I am overly pessimistic at the moment, but lately I have seen
very little new being said over those subjects.
