Older versions of the Perl SVN bindings have a broken do_switch() function, so I fall back to the do_update() function which re-downloads the whole tree instead.. SVN 1.4.4+ has this fix which allows do_switch() to be used instead of do_update(). do_switch() will only download the delta between two trees if the parent is present. If you don't have easy access to 1.4.4+ packages, I have patched 1.4.3 (x86) packages here for Debian Etch (I haven't built 1.4.4 or 1.4.5 yet): http://git-svn.yhbt.net/svn/ -- Eric Wong - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
