I do not even know why we do the check. The code pre-dates my
involvement. My guess would be that the CVS plugin does something similar
and it was copied. Which is not to say that what the CVS plugin checks is
not much more efficient. I know there was a time when svn info was not
efficient. I think it contacted the repository.

On the surface, it looks like we could just take the check out completely.
 The scenario it is guarding against seems absurd to me to worry about.

Is the startup time your main/only problem? If everything is slow, all
the time, then it doesn't make much sense to focus on this. I brought it
up in case startup was your main issue.
