You're saying you're using Subversion 1.4 and "svn blame" takes hours to run? That doesn't sound like it should be. I use "svn blame" probably daily in my work on the MacPorts project. It's not slow. We use Subversion 1.6 now, but I don't remember "blame" ever being slow; it returns in seconds. Our repository has over 62,000 revisions and is 7.5 years old. We have over 120 registered committers, but probably only a few dozen are particularly active at the moment. But "blame" is very helpful to me in trying to figure out why a file says what it says. Just a couple days ago I used "blame" to research the complete 2-year history of a particular line of code, to try to understand why it was there (and not because I was bored): http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20586#comment:10
