If the client is running 'svn checkout' (or 'svn update'), then the
server process which responds has to do *much* more than simply send
file diffs.
1. It needs to parse the status report sent by the client. It then
needs to use this report to build a virtual tree that represents the
client's tree.
2. It must compare the client's tree against a repository revision,
and drive an 'editor' vtable.
3. As one small part of the editor-drive, it sends file diffs.
Is your proxy server doing all this? What I'm not understanding is
how your proxy server is supposed to work. I don't see the forest
through the trees... what's the overall design? Are you going to
rewrite all of 'svnserve' and libsvn_repos from scratch? If not, how
much do you need to write?
Please help us understand the overall design of your proxy.
