[Haifux] SVN quota

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

If SVN quota is group-wise, and if it's on a dedicated filesystem, and if
you can't remove data from the SVN (due to its nature, anyhow, the users
cant remove data), and if they ask for more space and you grant them that,
may I ask what is the point in setting up quota for that specific storage?
