Yes, you're right. http opens a connection per-file, which is
horrendous with server load and is very slow as HTTP isn't optimized
for this purpose (and the current defacto HTTP library used with svn
isn't the most performant thing in the world). Unfortunately some
groups filter svn:// traffic though (like my employer), so I'm stuck
with http:// URIs for now (hence, the force of habit).
Thanks,
