copied!<p>If it's an older SVN repository (or even quite new, but wasn't setup optimally), it maybe using the older BDB style of repository database. <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/fsfs" rel="noreferrer">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/fsfs</a> has notes on the new one. To change from one to another isn;t too hard - dump the entire history, re-initialise it with the new svn format of file system and re-import. It may also be useful at the same time to filter the repo-dump to remove entire checkins of useless information (I, for example, have removed 20MB+ tarball files that someone had checked in).</p> <p>As far as general speed goes - a quality (speedy) hard-drive and extra memory for OS-based caching would be hard to fault in terms of increasing the speed of how SVN will work.</p> <p>On the client side, if you have tortoisesvn setup through PuttyAgent for SSH access to an external repository machine, you can also enable SSH compression, which can also help.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> SVN v1.5 also has the <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.tk.fsfsreshard" rel="noreferrer">fsfs-reshard.py</a> tool which can help split a FSFS based svn repository into a number of directories - which can themselves be linked onto different drive spindles. If you have thousands of revisions, that can also help - if for no other reason than finding one file among thousands takes time (and you tell tell if thats a problem by looking at the IOwait times)</p>
