Re: Poor performance in windows. Switching back to CVS

Similar experience here.

a. A windows java project with 21060 files in 16160 directories.
(SVN added about 80 percent of those directories and files.)

b. SVN takes about twice the time that cvs took for
both checkins and updates.

c. We often get the horrible "mismatches EOF"
messages, but after a few months of that we have
each picked a text editor that can normalize
the file for us before checking it in.

d. We have a lot of trouble cross-synchronizing
between svn servers.

e. We have a lot of trouble synchronizing individual
files that get taken home on thumb drives
to work on at home and then attempt to
un-Conflict them on Monday.

f. We have a lot of trouble tracking the last date
a file got modified (as opposed to the last date
it got checked in).

g. We will stay with svn because we need the ability to
svn copy and svn move things around.

h. Beware putting too many files in the same directory,
which kills Windows performance no matter what
configuration management software you use.
