Dump/Load of a repository using the same format repository should give the same results. If you are moving to a newer format repository where there have been changes to reduce space then you might see a reduction. For example, repositories created with SVN 1.6 only stores files whose contents are identical once. This can potentially save space depending on how many identical files you have. The repository format is not always changed to reduce space, so you really would have to look at what the new format brings for changes. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
