I'm working with a large application I've checked out from my repository, the bulk of this app is in the .svn/pristine
folder. From what I understand, the pristine folder contains copies of the files in my workingCopy directory
That being said,
- Would it be okay to delete these files?
- Do I really need them?
I have my files backed up already and no intention to revert. The extra space gained would dramatically cut my compile time as well.
EDIT
I now understand that changing anything manually inside .svn
will likely break my workingCopy.
I need to find a way to reduce the size of my workingCopy. In TortoiseSVN, there is a Cleanup - Delete unversioned files and folders
, which "removes all generated files in your working copy". Perhaps this would get rid of those files without breaking my application?
Cheers
