General Development On Monday, the Subversion project is scheduled to release version 1.0 of their version control system, under development for several years now. Subversion was intended from its inception as the CVS replacement and it comes with many important features previously found only on commercial VCS like Perforce. It was designed for better remote performance, and it is multi-platform with a GUI/CLI front-end.

Wants too much disk space?

Subversion is great! I use it more than half year. It's much more intuitive.

But unfortunately it seems that much disk space in wasted in client -- at least 3 times the amount of the source. I know that SVN keeps the original content of all the files, but why it's still much more than 2 times?
