====== Overview ======

This page contains information about subverison that isn't immediately obvious when searching the internet.

====== Repository Filesystem Layout ======

This is some information on various files in a subversion repository.  This is in regards to the actual repository itself, not a working copy that is checked out.  All paths are relative to the root of the repository.  So if the repository is at /var/db/svn/project then db/ references /var/db/svn/project/db/

  * db/format
    * (doesn't exist) - assumed to be format 1, this was used up to v1.4
    * 2 - this repository was created in v1.4.  The svndiff command was optimized to help reduce the storage space
    * 3 - this repository was created in v1.5+.  The database format had significant updates, most notably is merge tracking
  * db/fs-type - this will be either fsfs or bdb, the two database formats subversion supports.
