What is an SVN-BASE file?

SVN-BASE files mostly belong to Subversion. SVN-BASE files are used by Subversion to hold a copy of a file exactly as it exists in the repository.
These files serve specific roles:

Comparison: They let Subversion check the working copy against the stored version.

Restoration: They allow a file to be reverted to its original state if changes need to be undone.

Internal Management: They are managed by tools like TortoiseSVN and Subversion and are kept in hidden .svn folders.

Some SVN-BASE files even store data in formats like JPG when the file in question is an image; their role remains to provide a pristine copy for internal operations.
FilExt.com tip: You should not open or edit these files manually but work with them through your version control software.
