Just wanted to find out if anyone knows the difference in performance,
functionality for subversion running in windows xp vs linux/unix.
Client or server? And would it make any difference? I run my own server on
Linux under Apache and the client on XP, both 32 and 64 bit. My primary
client runs it under Apache on Win2003 Server. Over a slow VPN link and
with 50,000 revisions, I don't see significant slowness. I haven't worried
much about performance.
Apart from my mention of symbolic links, I see no difference in
functionality, and the link issue is a deficiency of the OS UI, not
Subversion.
Perhaps a better question is what you gain/lose running Apache on Windows.
The hook system is probably more complex, because you don't get the ease of
running arbitrary scripting languages that you do under *nix. There are
registry hacks you can do to get scripts auto-recognized by extension,
though. So you could add a registry entry to run the Perl interpreter (for
example) when a script with a .pl extension is encountered.
The *nix loader attempts to determine how to execute a file based on the
first few bytes of the file. Scripts conventionally start with a comment
line that specifies the interpreter to invoke. No special file naming is
needed.
