I had a colleague ask me a follow-up question off-list. Let me reply
here. Basically, he pointed out that getting status information
without contacting the server is one of Subversion's big features ...
so why does Subclipse not use it?
The answer is that we do. I just gave a quick answer before. The
"expected" mode of using the Synchronize view is that you select all
your projects and choose Team > Synchronize. This will give you an
initial big performance hit as it scans the local and remote
repository to gather the status information. However, once you have
done this once you can use the "Pin View" option to tell Eclipse you
want to keep these projects in the view.
Any future changes that are made locally will automatically appear in
the view without doing anything. If you pin the views, this will even
happen across restarts of Eclipse. The only time we will contact the
repository again is if you ask us to. Eclipse also offers a feature
to do this on a schedule, like once every hour. You can use these
features if you want information from the repository to show up in the
view automatically.
So, we do not give you an option when loading a project into the view
that would allow you to bypass the remote check, but once projects are
loaded, we do not contact the server again until and unless you ask
to.
