        \_ Hey man, I've got to do something while I wait for svn. -dans
           \_ how about posting jokes and videos instead of rants
              against tom holub?
           \_ Wait for svn to do WHAT? I use svn and it is as instantaneous
              as cvs. In fact, isn't svn based on cvs?
              \_ svn can get slow if you've got a big project.  However, it is
                 *not* based on cvs.  It is designed from the ground up to be a
                 better replacement for cvs. -emarkp
              \_ svn used by many developers for a large project on a heavily
                 loaded server can be painfully slow. -dans
                 \_ just curious: what are you working on?
        \_ please correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the big problem with
           'slow svn' is you imported some gigantic cvs suppository, and
           svn is having a hard time dealing with the cvs history.
           \_ yermom handles gigantic imports just fine
           \_ No, the svn repository I work with was always an svn repository.
              One issue is that we're upgrading to a new version with an
              incompatible database format so we need to replay years of
              history to get it into the new version. -dans
