Hi,
when we started with svn (about two years ago) we already had a rather
large project (migrated from Visual SourceSafe). Before importing all
files into the repository, we already knew that importing all files in
one "big bang" would result in a huge revision with a gazillion of
files. So we separated the import into several chunks with a more
manageable size. The chunks were still considerably large and also take
more than a handful of seconds to display in TortoiseSVN, but we can
live with this.
The issue you observe now will diminish over time as your history
evolves. Future revisions will affect less files and TortoiseSVN by
default only scans the most recent 100 revisions, so your "big bang"
revision will be hidden then. (To gain access to older revisions in
TortoiseSVN, there is a button on the lower end of the screen saying
"Show All". And if i click on something like "Show All", a small delay
doesn't surprise me too much.)
