Hi all,

  Just subscribed now, so I can't add to a thread already done. I found the below thread, but no final answer. Did it worked when excluding svn from the antivirus ?

Thanks,
Eli.

Yes, it pauses for a little bit. My guess was the anti-virus
software. I'll have to attempt to get an exception for the .svn

No cygwin. I'm using the normal Windows client.
