Re: Update and Status in large working copy causes Windows to hang

I started here because I was seeing the problem even when using the
command-line client exclusively, without even navigating the working copy in
Windows Explorer.

Since changing the Status cache preference in TortoiseSVN fixed the problem,
I completely agree. :-)

Thanks.
