Can you determine whether CPU or disk-access is at 100% during the time? If not, is the process' CPU usage changing (between 0 and 0.1%) or is it completely stuck at 0%?

Hi Stefan

Thanks for your reply. Windows task manager shows 0% cpu for the Windows command processor running svn update.

I don't have access to the server at the moment (it runs on Linux and is under corporate control).

A colleague tried a fresh checkout with a sparse checkout of branches (immediate directories only). That ran ok. But an update of a branch, setting depth to infinity, hangs. Updates to trunk are ok.
