svn 1.7 info MUCH slower than previous versions?

[Martin Hoffesommer <3d...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using Microsoft Source Server (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680641(v=vs.85).aspx)
to store source information about specific code revisions stored in
subversion. It's basically a bunch of perl scripts, and part of it is
running a 'svn info -R <path>' command to get a list of current revisions.

Pre-1.7 this took about 10 seconds or so for the 56000 source files; with
1.7 however it's more on the order of 10+ minutes - a 50x slowdown...

Is this a known problem? Are there any good workarounds for this?

Cheers,

Martin Hoffesommer

Yes this issue was found in the release candidate and it is fixed and
planned for 1.7.1.  You can see it in the CHANGES list for 1.7.1 which
means it has already been backported to the 1.7.x branch for the next
release.
