Karl and anyone in this positions,

I urge you, it's time to get a Matrix account or server, and read your IRC channels through Matrix.  Most IRC channels are bridged, with history.  Right away you will get history, multi-client use, notifications.  Matrix is a "spiritual successor" to IRC, and truly Open, federated, and standardized.  Then use Matrix for everything else.  In my opinion Matrix is very much the Right Way forward for all sorts of reasons.

> 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.)
