Reproducible with just a "svn info". The reason is that svn tries to read "/home/.svn", which belongs to another filesystem and possibly to another user. In addition to the hang, which affects other applications like emacs, this is potentially a security issue. svn should stop going up in the hierarchy once the mount point (or home directory?) has been reached, or at least once the owner of the directory changes. FYI, git doesn't have such an issue. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
