Details:
This is more a misfeature than a bug, but it can still hit pretty hard:
I'm updating a fairly large repository against a remote server using the
:ext: method over an 512/128 ADSL line. The update takes a very long time,
and using strace I discovered that the client apparently uploads every
modified file to the server, presumably to compare it to the repository
version on the server side.
This is very unfortunate over asymmetric connections - it'd be a lot better
if the modified files were downloaded to the client and compared there
instead. (I figure that could also reduce the total network traffic quite a
lot too since a merged version can be produced on the client without
additional data from the server.)
The cvs client version is 1.12.9. The version on the server is unknown but
it's the one currently (Nov 21 2005) in use at subversions.gnu.org.
