I don't know about that. Maybe it does, but I couldn't see any network
activity the last time I checked. Only at the very end where the 100
entries were shown.

I can even understand that. But the work to implement something like
this isn't really worth it. Ok, an option would not be that much work,
but then people would turn that option to "1.1" and forget about it.
Then, when all servers are updated they would forget to change the
option back to "1.2" - and then we'd have a feature in TSVN/Subversion
which noone would use :(

Did you do a dump of the repository when you upgraded? It isn't really
necessary, but if you do you'll get a speedup (they changed the way the
revisions are stored. So if you now commit to it they're stored the new
way, but the old ones still are stored the-old-way). That's why you
should do a dump/load when upgrading to 1.2 - you don't have to, but I'd
recommend it.
