Will this also cover annotate using an -r option to go past the last reformatting
delta?
Other than that, what operations are people still worried about the
slowness of?
Because svn keeps an extra pristine copy for checkouts, I'll have to use svn export for
automatic regression tests. With cvs, the overhead of the cvs information is small,
so I could use checkouts, and when I wanted to work on / test some patches with a
baseline known to build and to have a specific set of regressions, I just copied over the
checked out tree and started working on it. With svn, I'll have to do a fresh checkout of
the files/directories I'll be working on. The book mentions that there is an intent to make
the extra pristine copy optional, but AFAICT this isn't something that is available now.
