Hi Guys,
I desperately need some advice on my local SVN setup.
Right now I have this pointed at the MPIR top level directory. This
has been tolerable until now but when I updated today it cost me 10%
of my monthly bandwidth allowance (not being at University or being
employed by a company I have to pay for my bandwidth) just to get
updated as a result of all the new branches in SVN. It also took 15
minutes.
Sadly SVN appears to be completely stupid and just blindly downloads
everything even though it is identical to files that already exist in
other branches.
Do we really need all these branches? If we do I think I am going to
have to change my configuartion to point only at trunk since I really
cannot afford to waste all this bandwidth downloading stuff that is
identical to stuff I already have.
I am amazed at the stupidity of SVN since I had wrongly assumed that a
branch could be set up so that it only branched a file off its parent
when a file was changed. But it doesn't - it just blindly downloads
it all again - is this because I don't have SVN set up correctly?
All of this maybe OK if bandwidth comes 'free' but mine doesn't! Or
maybe this vindicates those who feel that SVN is a bad choice!
Brian
