Checkout a working copy that contains versioned directories from a server using v1 and serf. The network traffic includes
<lp2:md5-checksum>###error###</lp2:md5-checksum> for each directory. It turns out that dav_svn__insert_all_liveprops doesn't distinguish between files and directories and attempts to retreive a checksum for the node irrespective of the type. A recent change on trunk, r1237720, makes Apache log this error so that adds to the cost of the operation. The dav_svn__insert_all_liveprops function is a DAV hook installed with dav_hook_insert_all_liveprops so I guess that it is possible that other opeartions may trigger this code. Should dav_svn__insert_all_liveprops be determining the node type before requesting a checksum? -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
