It should not really slow you down that much. Unless there is a huge
amount of path info to fetch, like for an initial import, fetching 10
log messages should not be a lot slower than fetching 100. There may be
some other cause for the slowness:

Have you upgraded your server to SVN 1.2? If not you need to check the
'Use old API' box in settings/dialogs.

Are you using file:// access over a network? There seems to be a
slow-down bug in SVN 1.2.0 with this access method.

Another problem is that SVN does not implement true renames yet, so if
you rename a file or folder, stop-on-copy prevents you seeing its
history before the rename.

Show Log can be called from many places. Should all those be controlled
by 1 setting? Maybe almost all. The merge dialog has stop-on-copy always
set by default and I think that should remain.

Alternatively, now that we have the Next 100 button, stop-on-copy could
be the default again.

Comments?
