Hiya,
'copy' is meant to be very fast, so it's got to be the 'delete' part that is
very slow.
Is 'move' slower than doing a 'copy' and 'delete' seperately? If you do
seperate 'copy' and 'delete', which of the 2 commands is slow in your
environment?
regards,
--Tim

Subject: Slow "move" discourages refactoring.
Hello!
Seemingly simple task like moving folders tree to another location
is very hard with svn. What takes no time on usual file systems -
with svn is heavily dependant on the size of moved directory
contents. And it's /really/ discourages refactoring of repository
structure.
As I remember it was hard under VSS too but I wonder is it an
inherent feature of version control systems? Under what conditions
could it be made /fast/ with current or future versions of svn? Or
the time of "move" will always be "equivalent to a 'copy' and
'delete'"?
Best regards,
