How to enable data compression between server and client?
Seak, T. F.
I've gone through every setting in TSVN. Nothing really matches compression. Then I've searched "compression" through the whole HELP file. Still nothing, no mention.
Is data compression a rumour/myth? Or am I missing something?
TIA

I've heard that the earth is only 6000 years old. It pays to check
your sources (and when posting here, cite them).

Why do you believe it's not already done?
Any compression is server-dependent. If the server doesn't support it,
there's no sense in a client doing anything.
Anything sent over the wire is already optimized, for example only
sending diffs instead of whole files.

You're missing the fact that TortoiseSVN is a client which uses the
Subversion libraries. Communication between server and client is done
using the library, as is all handling of the working copy. TortoiseSVN
only provides an option when Subversion offers one. Why would anyone
want to turn over-the-wire compression off?
If you want to ask questions about the internals of Subversion you
need to ask on the subversion users list instead.

I can't find back the original pages I had seen, but after a little search on Google, I got this one as an example:

So TSVN already supports compression through SVN libraries support. Is that what you mean?
And all I need is to make sure the SVN server, which is Visual SVN server in my case, is sending compressed data, right?

But Subversion isn't even mentioned on that page - the link is
irrelevant to the topic at hand.

I'm pretty sure compression is used. And as I said, if you want to
know how subversion client and server communicate under the hood then
ask on the subversion users list, not this one.

Do a search on the keyword "svn", if you can't spot it in the page

Just for the record:
I have asked in Apache Subversion mailing-list as well as to VisualSVN's contact about this question. Both confirmed to me that delta protocol already has compression in it.
I think this pretty much is enough to close this discussion.
