Yes, but only the code: http://egoboo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/egoboo/
The data files for Egoboo (Music, sounds, images) are rather uncompressed and take around 120 mb total uncompressed! The new Module I've made takes 8 mb itself. I don't think the sourceforge SVN likes a big repository, but I could be wrong.

technically, they do not limit the size of the svn for a project.
I uploaded all of the source files for SoulFu without a problem, but Egoboo has a lot more duplication of files...
I've been delaying updating my changes to the svn because I wasn't sure what would happen if I tried to commit to the new archive... |

Intresting... Meaning we should get on work on the new file system  (And I should get egoboo to build on this computer and start coding here).
Yeah, all the upcoming conflicts may be scary, but also unavoidable at some point (Unless you simply overwrite everything).

I was more worried about the fact that the local SVN is at a wildly different revision number than the new SVN. Will it just accept my higher revision number and resolve any conflicts in my favor? That is not good because you made quite a lot of changes since I last updated  )
Yes, we need to work on the file system.
I have some code that generates a 32 bit CRC for each file, which will uniquely tag each file in the database. The files could also be auto renamed from modules\XX.mod\lumpkin.obj\sound0.wav to objects\sounds\XXXXXXXX_lumpkin_0.wav, where the XX.... is the CRC. That way, identical files that are used by multiple objects will be grouped together in the directory listing... Then, we could weed out all the duplicates.
The trick will be to make another file in the \modules\XX.mod\lumpkin.obj that tells the loader what the global name of the various assets are.
====================
The other way would be to have an "inheritance model", where the special file would say that \modules\XX.mod\badlump.obj inherits from the global \objects\lumpkin.obj, which inherits from blah, etc. Then, any missing files in \modules\XX.mod\badlump.obj would be searched for in \objects\lumpkin.obj and any missing files there would be searched for in \objects\blah.obj.
===================
The second method is easier to implement (it is similar to how you can override files in \gamedat by placing a different file in \modules\XX.mod\gamedat), but harder to trim the fat... Plus, we would have to work out an inheritance scheme. Not too hard really, pirate inherits from rogue, boss lumpkin inherits from lumpkin, ... |

I fixed that bug by changing "Run on compatibility mode" to windows 98. Well, I'm not sure if it would work with you, cuz I use vista.. but trying won't kill ya lol.
Anyways, seems like version 2.4.4b is more playable than version 2.7.5.. i have the feeling that the current bugs affecting the latest version are quite tough...

Fortunately, you are wrong. 
I know of several projects that have several gigabytes in SVN (and then if you factor in their history, since SVN remembers everything, it'll be 10s of gigabytes) so 100mb or so is nothing.

Doing nothing is a choice. You sit at your PC and you choose to surf the net or play a game. You could equally choose to work on Egoboo. Choose what you want to do, make a decision you are happy with.

No, it's just that I have quite a few other things to work on.

I only feel guilty because I haven't done anything for a long while, even though it's partially because of *BLEEP!!!* 2.75b, as many of the starters are just impossible for one reason or another, whether it's the mana flow being nothing, or getting stuck on bodies or walls, or just not having the skill to do it with all of the problems adding up .
