Inquiry into issue #572

Issue number 572 is biting me in the ass. This is the problem where neon
times out on large updates because mod_dav_svn takes so long before
sending down the first chunks of data.

I need this fixed, because of my evil plans. Anyone care to point me to
more information about proposed fixes, or half-done attempts at fixing
it?

BTW, I tried increasing my client to timeout after 10 minutes (in my
normal cases) and it still didn't help. So that isn't a solution. The
whole update should be done in ten minutes...not take that long to start
:)

The update over ra_local works as expected, BTW (for the same update).
Starts almost immediately. Just to alleviate concerns about the update
itself being whacked out.

Evilness loves company :)

In olden days (like 3 weeks ago), mod_dav_svn would generate the entire
delta, and *then* spool the update response back to the client.

But in r1547, gstein made mod_dav_svn's response a streamy one, so the
client could start parsing the stream in real time.

On IRC, you're running mod_dav_svn r1605, so it's puzzling to me as to
why you're not seeing this benefit.

Unless, of course, something is really wrong with svn_repos_dir_delta(),
or the filesystem itself.  Any other hypotheses out there?
