XML craze is fading away
I was reading Subversion 1.4 release notes and noticed an interesting line:
The way in which the Subversion client manages your working copy has undergone radical changes. The .svn/entries file is no longer XML, and the client has become smarter about the way it manages and stores property metadata.
It is great to see the widespread obsession with XML is finally going away — XML was way overused.
So how is this overusage applicable to subversion?
For small files XML overhead is minimal.
