Why do I have so many files?

(8:45 am) Tags: [General]

My new Windows PC is set up to do a full virus scan every Friday night (assuming that I won’t be working then, which is usually wrong), and last night I finally let it finish.

Files scanned: 2,938,482! You read that correctly, almost 3 million files on my PC. Just 4 years ago, it was about 450,000. What is going on? Am I a file whore? Or can I just blame Subversion? It is only 37GB of space, so I could have had that many files 4 years ago, I just didn’t.
