+
+Recently I received a portage update to Subversion 1.7. Since this version uses a new working copy layout I was a bit sceptic about how much work upgrading to 1.7 would really be.
+
+So far the update went really smooth. I upgraded the svn client and had to migrate (svn upgrade) the working copy. The working copy is significantly smaller after the migration:
+
+<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
+    <tr>
+        <th>&nbsp;</th>
+        <th>Subversion 1.6</th>
+        <th>Subversion 1.7</th>
+        <th>Size diff</th>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+        <td>customer project 1</td>
+        <td>957M</td>
+        <td>676M</td>
+        <td>70.64%</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+        <td>customer project 2</td>
+        <td>14M</td>
+        <td>7.5M</td>
+        <td>53.57%</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+        <td>Mule community 3.x</td>
+        <td>342M</td>
+        <td>200M</td>
+        <td>58.48%</td>
+    </tr>
+</table>
+
+SVN operations like running an update or reverting a lot of changes seem to be a bit faster. I can't say if subversion in Eclipse behaves faster or not - haven't my mind made up just yet.
+
+I'll leave the server part and all the related tools (Jenkins, Sventon etc.) for another post later.
