Using svn as a backing store, how can we more easily work with long lived branches?
I've some existing branches which are long lived, and doing the svn merge either way is extremely slow. I know much of our community used svk for a while; I think the usage there has dropped off as git is the new shiny. My usage of svk was for local branching; I couldn't easily share my work in progress with the community. Does anyone have *any* recommendations? (including: you're doing the merge wrong). I'm bccing the current svn admins to find out if they have any ideas as well. Would an upgrade on the server side to 1.5 help with performance? (It would certainly make the maintenance aspect of the merging less painful.) -- Will "Coke" Coleda
