have you tried using git as a front-end to svn? for repo browsing its
unbeatable. ive noticed trivial operations going way way faster, and tree
views dont take much time to render (on our repo min or two, tops) w/ gitk
--all, which show the contents of all branches, all revs period. we have a
repo w/ over 35k revs; on said repo, i can diff 2 branches in under a 10th
of a second..
i just got so sick of finding out a change came from a merge, having to then
go back to the previous branch, and find out that came from a merge etc.;
now i just click a button a few times and let git do all the work..
note the one lame aspect is it would take time to initially clone the repo,
maybe 5 hours or so.
im not trying to start a war here, but from my perspective, if i used git
simply for searching the repository, and nothing else, id be saving lots of
time. it also seems relevant, since this complaint was about performance,
and theres nothing wrong in using git in conjunction w/ svn, especially for
the parts where it really shines.
