I've done as you suggest and timed it. It seems that a manual refresh on
the project (with no modified files) takes about 5 mins, which is the
same length of time as an svn switch or an svn branch/tag. This remains
the same whether I run the refresh immediately prior to the svn switch
or not.
So clearly it is just that eclipse takes a long time to refresh my
particular project. I'll see what I can do about that. I suspect it is
because it is a large project accessed from windows over a samba
connection to a linux fileserver.
I think you've mentioned before that subclipse has to do the full
refresh to ensure eclipse refreshes the hidden .svn directories. It
would be great to see an enhancement to subclipse that could trigger
eclipse to refresh only the files changed by svn (and the hidden .svn
directories), without requiring a full project refresh. I think that
would provide substantial performance increases for people who develop
on remote servers, which is not uncommon. As it is, a 5 minute wait
after any project level svn process makes subclipse impractical for use
in this situation. Can I file a feature request?
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respond Mark.
