Sgt Rod: Most of the repositories used v3 of the repos format. They made in more efficient in SVN 1.4. I upgraded from 1.3->1.5 (the repos, we already had 1.4 on the server).

“the repository on the server is also a lot smaller, in size is about 66% of what it was before”: I tried the
dump+load procedure with a few medium-to-large repositories and can’t confirm your claim, repository size doesn’t change. These were SVN 1.4 repositories using the FSFS backend. Also I can’t find anything in
the SVN 1.5 release notes mentioning more space
efficient storage, esp. wrt binary files.
