Hi, developing an application dealing with many repositories the existence of paths within that repositories had to be checked. Using something like:
my $repos = SVN::Repos::open($localpath) or die "no such repo";
my $fs = $repos->fs;
$ispath =
$repos->fs->revision_root( $fs->youngest_rev)->is_dir($path);
undef($fs);
undef($repos);
resulted in a persistent memory usage of approx. 300MB for ~ 3000 calls,
though undefing the references of the objects.
Attached is a small sample script, showing the problem with 1000
calls - resulting in 200M with nothing but the directory in question in
the repository. Repository-size seems to matter. (the application uses
near productive repos)
running with
libsvn1 1.6.6dfsg-2ubuntu1.3
libsvn-perl 1.6.6dfsg-2ubuntu1.3
perl 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1
kind regards,
Max Voit
