some gaps in my subversion knowledge

[pingu <pe...@googlemail.com>]

Hi, i have a rails app that i imported into subversion, i didnt create the
suggested dir structure (trunk, tags, branches) but it worked fine. I
deleted my working copy, and then checked out a revision from subversion,
all was fine. 

I then read about the suggested directory structure, and wondered where my
project had been copied as i had not created a trunk dir, i went looking in
my repository, and found no trace of it. 

What really confused me is that my project was 15Meg, yet my subversion
repository was only 3.4Meg?????? how can this be? 

I have removed all trace of my project, but am still able to check it out
from subversion, where is it coming from???? 

Can anyone please explain this to me. 

Many thanks.

Repository structure is just recommendation. No more. That is why it is 
working. Your project is kept in Berkeley database in repository, that 
is why you can't find the trace of your project. Most of all it is 
compressed in repository, that is why repository size is less than your 
project. Besides .svn folder in your working copy of project take 
significant place.

However, that mailing list is for other questions. You should signup 
user mailing list: users@subversion.tigris.org and read that:
