FW: svn log hangs?

Stephen -

The repository is really new ... I think we're up to a whoppin' 29
revisions ... but two of those are code drops with thousands of files
added. The file itself probably has 10 revisions.

Sorry: newbie question coming: what's FSFS? A storage backend for
Subversion?

My svn log query finally timed out after an hour of waiting for a
response. Other queries (svn list) worked during the same period of
time.

Do you suggest we move to FSFS?

I have seen 18 minute logs using Apache and FSFS for a single file with
somewhere on the order of 4500 revisions. How many revisions does this
file have?

Speaking of which, I know Subversion is doing a lot of work for such
files but perhaps someone on the dev team could look at the performance
of the log operation a little more? I get a lot of flack at work from
some CVS old-timers about this issue. :-)

BTW, if you don't need all of the log and you can upgrade to 1.3.x, the
"--limit=N" option to svn log is a lifesaver.

"svn log <fileName>" is hung or taking over an hour to run. We are
using Apache on the respository server, and clients are using Subversion

Any ideas?
