Yes, that is what I was getting at. I could tell looking at the Sync API
that it would be potentially less efficient that using svn status -u. The
tradeoff is that it greatly complicates the "infrastructure" code we have
to write because we cannot re-use as much of the API. Did you consider
using the API but trying to "trick it" on the back end? In other words,
perhaps the first request for either the local or remote changes could run
svn status -u and store the results away, and when it comes back a second
time to ask for the next set of changes, we could pull the results from
the previous fetch?

What I am looking for is whether you considered this and I might be
wasting my time in pursuing it. I agree that we only want to run svn
status one time if possible.

Ick. I was hoping not to hear that. What are the other ramifications of
this? If I have run a Sync action, but then go back to say the Java
perspective and do some stuff, does that mean all of our SVN actions need
to be doing something? Not even just the ones from the Synch view?
Shouldn't something/somewhere just be using a resource change listener to
capture activity and update itself as needed? Do you think we might get
more of this for free if we are using the API at a higher level, such as
ThreeWaySubscriber?

Yes, I have voted for it. I just didn't know if anyone had ever talked to
them off line.

You are welcome. I think the information you have provided should help,
and confirms some of my own conclusions.
