Are you saying that it takes 60m just for the client to stream a
description of its working copy to the server? That sounds ridiculous
to me, I don't believe it. 'svn update' merely needs to open each
directory in the working copy, read .svn/entries, and send that
information to the server. It shouldn't take that long. It should
definitely be much faster than 'svn status'.

The bug I'm describing was a huge delay on the *server* side, whereby
it used to take a long time to process the client's report before
sending a response. (The server should no longer be doing all that
work.) But merely sending the report the server shouldn't take very
long.
