[jira] [Updated] (SVN-525) Allow working copies without .svn/pristine/ cache (a.k.a. "text-base/" files).

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-525?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Karl Fogel updated SVN-525:
---------------------------
    Description: 
{noformat:nopanel=true}
It's possible to make the cached pristine files in .svn/pristine/ optional.  Doing so would be a huge
storage savings on the client side, and would make Subversion even more compelling as a system
for managing medium-large binary files.

A much more technically thorough explanation of this issue and its background is available in [this 2020-12-29 comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-525?focusedCommentId=17256056&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17256056] below.

(Note that the cached pristine base versions used to be stored in .svn/text-base/, so you'll probably see
references to that old location throughout this ticket.  Also, there used to be one .svn/ directory per
working tree directory; later that was changed to one .svn/ directory at the top of the working tree.
Knowing that might also help clarify some of the older comments in this ticket.)
