Having only tangentially followed this thread, I've got a couple of questions:
* Do the current subversion+serf fixes solve the the large checkout
time problem people have been seeing on trunk?
* What other scenarios should we be timing/testing?
John, you've been a great help in identifying and testing this. Any
chance you could run similar timing comparisons on other Subversion
operations and report the results? :)
