svnadmin dump --deltas

  • 772

Are there any particular reasons why I would not want to use the --deltas argument, either for an incremental or a complete svnadmin dump?

    There are some cons listed in svnbook. Here's a snippet from the online svnbook:

    There are, however, disadvantages to using this option—deltified dump files are more CPU-intensive to create, cannot be operated on by svndumpfilter, and tend not to compress as well as their nondeltified counterparts when using third-party tools such as gzip and bzip2.
