Carlos,

   It's not before been an issue. Perhaps I should consider git. You're right
in writing that a tool such as a version control system should store initial
files and diffs in a easily-read format to be used by any vcs.

   I removed the repository and the project directory's .svn subdirectory,
then recreated the former and started over again. For this project it's no
big deal to lose all 130+ former versions.

Thanks,

Rich
