Not much if you have only one repository server for all of your servers. AFAIK subversion only stores incremental changes to text files. In other words, if you dump different revisions of a file into a text files, you would see a series of "diffs" with each new revision.

So you have the whole file stored only when you import it to the repository for the first time.

See the subversion handbook for details: <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/" title="red-bean.com">http://svnbook.red-bean.com/</a red-bean.com>
