Re: Issue creating large # of nodes in a transaction. (SWIG perl bindings)

Another data point:

The following recipe using the swig python bindings (python 2.4.1) seems
to work fine. I can use it to create 10,000 nodes in a single transaction:

#!/usr/local/bin/python -u

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/y/lib/svn-python')
from svn import core, fs, repos

if len(sys.argv) < 3:
    print "Usage: %s repos_path count" % (sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(1)

svn = repos.open(sys.argv[1])
svn_fs = repos.fs(svn)
youngest = fs.youngest_rev(svn_fs)
rev_root = fs.revision_root(svn_fs, youngest)
txn = repos.fs_begin_txn_for_commit(svn, youngest, 'nobody', '')
txn_root = fs.txn_root(txn)

nc = 0
while (nc < int(sys.argv[2])):
    path = "/%d_node" % nc
    path_type = fs.check_path(rev_root, path)
    if (path_type is core.svn_node_none):
        fs.make_dir(txn_root, path)
        print "%d," %nc,
    nc += 1

revnum = repos.fs_commit_txn(svn, txn)
print "New revision -> %d" % revnum

To me, this suggests some problem in the perl swig bindings. Any agreement?

Best,

Dan M
