Hi,
I maintain some merge scripts written in Java that work with both
SVNKit and JavaHL. During unit testing on Windows XP we noticed that
some simple svn actions, like checkout take an extraordinary amount of
time. E.g. 'svn checkout' over ra_local of a branch with 3 folders and
6 100 bytes files takes appr. 20 seconds.
After some debugging we found that svn spends almost 15 seconds trying
to change a simple username file in ~\Subversion\auth\svn.username
(see attached extract of the Process Monitor log). It turns out this
file already existed and was set read-only. When JavaHL/svn creates
this file it makes it writeable, but SVNKit seems to create it as
read-only - which I suspect is a bug in SVNKit.
Looking at the Process Monitor output I suppose these 15 seconds are
spent in WIN32_RETRY_LOOP, defined in libsvn_subr/io.c.
WIN32_RETRY_LOOP tries in this case to open the file for writing, and
gets an ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error. Now I know this error can mean lots
of things, so I don't propose to drop it altogether. But can't we add
a check that, if svn gets this error during file opening, it checks
first if the file is read-only before retrying 100 times?
I see we already do something similar in svn_io_remove_file.
Remarks?
