CVS uses compression (although you have to remember to turn it on); I couldn't find any mention of a compression option in the SVN docs, and a search of RapidSVN menus didn't turn up any way to turn on compression. We would need to solve this problem since 800 megabyte checkouts aren't acceptable for dial-up users.
800 MB is a lot more than Boost's size. Could it be you downloaded all revisions of Boost?
It is some problem with the RapidSVN client. The same download with TortoiseSVN had a received byte count of 19 megs. More than CVS, but not totally objectionable. --Beman
