I have a repo with 30k+ small files, and I can only access the server over the internet via https://. Checkout are very, very slow. On the order of hours. Internet connection speed is ~20Mbs and local machine is 3Ghz multi-core & 10k RPM HD.
(svn:// protocol is not an option, sadly.)
So my question:
Can svn do a multi-threaded parallel checkout of a working copy?
It looks like the svn checkout is going file-by-file in a sequential order. There is a minuscule delay between each file and I suppose that's the http request/reply and possibly my local filesystem's delays. (Perhaps a little server filesystem latency as well?)
Thanks

svn checkout checks out (retrieves) a working copy of the repository into the specified folder. If you don't have access to the repository, and there's not already a current copy of the source in the folder, you can't possibly do a build. If there is a current copy of the source there, it should include build.
Advertisements. Subversion provides the checkout command to check out a working copy from a repository. Below command will create a new directory in the current working directory with the name project_repo.
I don't know of a command, but you could write a small Python (or the tool of your choice) script to help. "svn list" gives you the name of each subdirectory. You can then do a checkout of each subdirectory in the background so they happen in parallel. You may need to do this at the 2nd/3rd/whatever level deep depending on your directory structure and where all the tiny files reside.
I'm assuming you don't have 30K files in the same directory of course.
