I have several SVN repositories on my local hard disk, a Mac running El Capitan

Terminal to verify the backup.
Since I upgraded to SVN 1.7.22 I've noticed that diff tells me none of my
repositories' wc.db-journal files are being backed up. I haven't added them to
the TM exclusions list, so this surprises me.
Should I worry about this? Or is wc.db-journal a file that gets recreated if
SVN doesn't find it? Googling doesn't turn up anything useful, nor does
searching the list archives here.
TIA
I'm quite sure you are mixing up the terms repository and working copy,
right? If not, please ignore the following.
Just take a look at wc.db-journal. The file size of that file is 0 in
all my cases and is a temp file used by SQLite. It would be non-empty
for cases where the svn-process would crash I assume. Further details
see [1].
I assume TM only backs up non-empty files, no?
