Based on the activity seen,  a few people, maybe single digit, are 
downloading the whole tree.  Probably in ignorance of the limitations of 
the service we are using.

I am unwilling to attribute malice to that activity which is trivially 
(and probably) explained by ignorance.  The suggestion that we "dump the 
whole tree" or prune it reveals lots of misunderstanding of how svn 
works.  We have contributed to that by giving out the root (tags, 
branches, trunks and all) rather than publishing what is actually needed 
"to get going".


We need more bandwidth than 1.5 mbps to share between repositories of 
various sorts and the commercial customers who are complaining.  Flex's 
only complaint is the causing of complaints by its users.  Flex 
restricted access by username and PW.  They don't much like it more than 
anyone else.  They have to administer it!
