Note that SVN 1.7.x is not supported and you should plan an upgrade to the latest SVN 1.10.x (LTS) or SVN 1.11.x (regular time-based release) builds. > Why does the “exclude” take such a long time and what can be done to make it faster ? I guess that it's not the only operation that is slow on the network share, right? Please, upgrade your SVN client and try the same operation with the exclusive locking option[1]. See SVNBook 1.8 about exclusive-locking runtime configuration option[2]. Here is an example: [[[ svn update --config-option config:working-copy:exclusive-locking=true –set-depth exclude folderA ]]] -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team
