The repository is already stored compressed. Newer versions of Subversion store revisions in repositories more efficiently, but will not rewrite old revisions stored by older versions. For maximum space savings, dump and load, as Thorsten said below; this way, all revisions will be stored in the most efficient format. > Depending on your current repository format, the repository can be > packed and repository sharing can be used, some kind of deduplication > which can reduce repository sizes if a lot of comparable or even > identical files are checked in.
