Considering the gzip compression done by the Apache HTTP server, the=20

tarball download would be.

So, I don't see any benefit in making tarballs of .svn directories. In=20
fact, checking out with -N (--no-recurse) should improve the situation,=20
as you would download only what you need, when you need it.

As for the WC dir size, if you are short on disk space, you can try svk's=20
XD (the letters right after WC). It instead uses a local repository to=20
store files, at the expense of some disconnected operations no longer=20
being disconnected. svk is fully compatible with SVN servers.
