workaround for large directory checkouts?

Does anyone know of any workarounds for the timeout
problem when checking out large directories?

Thanks,
Noel

Checkout over ra_local?

Maybe you can checkout over ra_local (i.e. using file:///blah/) and then
copy the working copy to the machine you want it on, edit the entries
files to point to the http://blah/ URL (as per messages regarding moving
repositories to a different server etc.) and then try
updating/committing etc. from there.

I don't know what else is affected by large numbers of files in the
directory.

Noel, I haven't had a chance to try this yet... but what about checking
out portions of the directory tree and then going and checking out
another portion, etc?

This is what I was thinking, but wasn't sure which
file needed changing (grepping for 'timeout' brought
up a lot of files).

If this doesn't work for some reason, I'll try the
partial checkout workaround.

Do you think it would be useful to make the timeout an
option (if possible)?  I think even if the server
improves its response, there will still be situations
that'll cause a timeout no matter what default is
given.

Thanks,
Noel

Increase the timeout?  You could try adding ne_sock_read_timeout calls
to svn_ra__dav_open in libsvn_ra_dav/session.c.
