Actually, for what it's worth in the current context, SVN has
supported local log cacheing for a while. I don't recall which
version introduced this feature, maybe 1.5 or 1.6.
This was new to me. I found a reference to such a feature being
added to TortoiseSVN in version 1.5:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/tsvn_1.5_releasenotes.html#log-cache
But I can't find any mention of this existing in Subversion proper.
Do you have other information?
Are your users using TortoiseSVN?
Even if they are, my understanding of this feature is that it caches
the properties of each revision (like log message, author, date &
time). Not sure if it caches the list of files affected by each
revision too. But it certainly won't cache the actual changes made
to the files in those revisions; the only file contents you have
available is the version currently in each working copy.
Ryan,
Yes, my users are using TortoiseSVN. I thought it was an SVN feature
(or SVN lib feature) that TortoiseSVN was simply making use of. But I
could be wrong.
Your understanding of how it works is the same as mine. Unfortunately.
