With the first problem, if you are referring to issue 1852 then, IMHO,
having developers in a team several times per week being forced to do a
complete checkout of >50k files to have a "non bailed out" working copy is,
IMHO, slighly more than annoying. During that hour it takes to restore the
working copy with all fiddling, it will most definitely "prevent work from
getting done".
(...some members of the team here at work have developed magical rituals
that they perform everytime they do a update/commit... They believe that by
doing that this issue is less likely to occur...)
