That's the issue here too.
People may be working in the trunk, developing new features, only to
be interrupted by a high priority task to create a patch for branch
XYZ. Unless they happen to have a working directory for XYZ handy, or
one for PQR that they don't mind switching to XYZ (that seems to be
pretty fast) the checkout time hits them at that point.
It's certainly fair to say "we traded it off". But is there a
specific reason why it's so slow? Or is it "it's just slow and we
haven't worked on optimizing it because that's not a priority"?
I can understand either. If it's the latter, maybe I can work on it.
If the former, then probably not.
