I tried the same around 0.12/0.14 and it was a complete disaster with svn crashing with an out-of-memory error after taking all of my 512 MB of RAM and the 2 GB of swap... In the meantime, I'm switching to Arch/tla instead of Perforce for my own projects, the distributed nature of arch makes it enormously useful before I have several machines with repos on them and I want to be able to commit and merge across all these repos and only Arch gives me that (well BK does but I don't like the license and is closed source anyway). I've thought about replacing CVS with Arch in the FreeBSD context, even organised a BoF about that at BSDCon '03, but the development is rather different and I'm not sure it could be applied w/o too much pain. On a side remark, I still don't trust svn way of having everything stored in a BDB. Makes repos far too large, generates lots of logs and makes recovery more complicated. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr Darwin snuadh.freenix.org Kernel Version 7.2.0: Thu Dec 11 16:20:23 PST 2003
