I believe we found the root cause of this problem. Please see this thread: (start) http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0040.shtml (middle) http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0101.shtml (end) http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0122.shtml The solution seems to be: Upgrade your server to 1.6. Upgrade your clients to 1.6. and Even though they say you shouldn't need this, dump & load your repo to upgrade it to 1.6. If you don't do this, the old revs which are slow in your repo will always remain slow. Moving forward, eventually you'll stop seeing the problem on a regular basis, as you begin using more and more consistently, just revs which were committed with 1.6. But the commit algorithm doesn't always diff against rev n-1, sometimes it diffs against rev n/2, which means ... Unless you do the dump & load, the problem will never entirely go away. The dump & load will take a really long time. Because it will systematically step on every single one of the bad revs.
