Re: "svn pget svn:externals -r . -R" dramatically slow

[Andrey]

So, for the time being you could use this as a workaround, Andrey (if 
you're scripting this): checkout to a temp directory (or even aramdisk  
if it's not too big), and run the propget on that; then deletethe  
checkout.
I can not afford to check out everything in the temp, it would be slower  
than just a plain propget,
because one-slow-propget + many-fast-propgets is faster in average than  
checkout-everything-instead-of-propget-everything. So for the script it is  
not a solution until the "depth directories" command line option would be  
implemented which is not.
