I've found what it was just doing tla inventory and looking where it 
stops. As i suspected, there were files with ilegal chars (blanks, 
accents, etc). I'll see how to fix them, that is rename them :)

But now I have a BIG question: the website in question is 1Gb amb a few
thousands of files. I'm not sure how should I manage it (and not, I cannot
split it, sorry). Should I build cached revs automatically (using hook)?  
Should I add libraries? I need speed when commiting changes and I don't
want the backups to take forever, so I'0m not sure waht to do.

Changes are usually small: create a new dir, add a few config files, a few
images and that is it. Another type of change is patching a few general
files to modify the website behaviour and look and feel. As you can see, 
not many changes.

Can someone advise me how to proceed?
