max number of developers on one repository

[Derek Beatty <De...@Sun.COM>]

What is the maximum number of developers who can safely use a single  
repository?

We're looking at perhaps 3-4 active release branches, a handful of  
feature branches, and a couple dozen gig of data.

Although server size will be a question, it is not an issue for us.

I'm more interested in real-world experience than theoretical arguments.

Thanks,

indefinite. There are repositories out there with several hundred registered 
developers, eg. KDE has about 800 (maybe 900 by now).

From reading the list: make sure this data is in a sane directory structure 
- svn seems to have problems with directories that contain thousands of 
files (up to about a hundred is not a problem).

Depends on how many simultaneous accesses you expect to have. If you access 
it from the Internet (or VPN) you usually exhaust the bandwidth of the 
outside line faster than the CPU-power of the server.
