Hello,
we recently upgraded svn on our remote build server from 1.5 to 1.6. This caused a drastic reduction in speed: u...@server:~$ time svn log -l 25 -q https://<repo> [… snip …] real 0m22.745s user 0m0.192s sys 0m0.048s After some debugging, we found the cause to be entirely on my windows pc, not related to the linux server: => I log in with putty over SSH and had X-forwarding turned on => I did not have an X-server running on my windows pc The combination of these 2 made command-line svn on the linux server extremely slow. I think this is due to the gnome/kde keyring integration which is new in 1.6 So, to solve this: either run xming before starting putty, or turn off X-forwarding in putty. Maybe command line client svn could give a warning that it tried to communicate with an X-server but got no response? That would have helped us in discovering what caused the performance issue. However, even when I actually run an X-server, I got no GUI popup, but atleast SVN was not slow anymore. Kind regards, Pieter-Jan
