I do not think so, but it will obviously make things like dump/load and backups slower. Are you aware of the svn:externals feature? You could just create a separate repository for your libraries and use svn:externals to pull them in. That gives you the best of both worlds. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
