I've found, that even the client gets slowed down by revisions with a large
number of
changed paths (in my case >20000). Selecting such a revision in the
log dialog (by mouse click or by moving up and down with the arrow keys)
can take several seconds.
So browsing the history of a single file can be really time consuming.

This workaround applies only, if the initial import is the only revision,
which has a large number of changed paths. I don't think this is the case.
Some examples for changes which are affecting almost all source files:
- a change in the legal notice
( 'Again the name of our company has changed.')
- changed usage of keywords
('Now we need also $HeadURL$ besides $Id$ to identify the Branch of a file')
- changing properties (eg. svn:eol-stype )
('W are now also using Linux clients besides the Windows clients.')
If there are a couple of this revisions distributed over the whole history,
it is difficult to view the log of a file without having at least
one of the 'large' revisions in the log dialog.
So, to solve this issue, how about an additional option in the settings dialog:
'Default number of changed paths'.
According to this option, only the first n changed paths per revision
are displayed by default in the log dialog.
Most revision would not be affected, because 'regular' changes are
mostly changing only a couple of files.
For revisions which have more changed paths than defined in the option,
it should be visible for the user, that this revisions have additional
changed paths, which are not displayed right now and there should be
an option to display the additional paths for a single revision
or for all displayed revisions.
