Absolutely correct -- if you change files and recommit them. I was
mainly advising this as a test to see why the CIFS checkout is taking
so long.

This will use the CIFS share, but eliminate the role the local Windows
Subversion client might be playing. If the checkout is substantially
faster, the issue is with the local Windows machine and not
necessarily be the Windows server itself.

My hunch is that this won't be that much faster since the Windows
server is still running an anti-virus scan on the share.
