Ok, thank you for explaining this. Yes, I understand that SVN is normalizing the text files, so their real size may differ from client to client.
Unfortunately I do not know if the user has got an working copy and where it can be found . So the only way to solve this is creating once a local copy of each file and store the real size in a DB referenced by the file URL and revision number L.

The size might be different when a different line end encoding is used and/or when keyword expansion is enabled. (Can be larger or smaller) svn_client_statusX() reports both sizes when the file is a 'normal' working copy file. The list function works 100% repository side and we simply don't know the size the file would be in some working copy, as the size might be different in other working copies. Bert From: Bijewitz, Volker [mailto:v.bijew...@baum.de] Sent: donderdag 2 februari 2017 09:22 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: svn_dirent_t::size: often not the "real" file size Hi SVN developers, I am working on an TotalCommander plugin to browse SVN repositories. Now I have the problem that on some repositories the filesize reported by svn_client_list3 is different from the "real" file size of the working copy - so comparing the SVN repo with the working copy is impossible. So here are my questions on this issue: · Is there a way for a SVN client to detect the "real" filesize? · Does this behavior change with the server version? I have one server where the filesize seems to match, another server where it does not match. · If there are servers that reports "real" file sizes: is there a client functionality to detect if he is connected to a server with "good" behavior? This may be not the correct way to do a compare, there would be better ways using the SVN interface. But I am limited to the TC plugin interface. And in this interface there is no "Compare with file" function. I have just to deliver the correct properties, and TC itself does the operation in a way the user has configured it.
