Subversion with a working directory that is on a network drive is very slow, because of all the metadata operations that take place. Ideally, each working directory would be on the developer's local machine.
We use a similar setup to what you describe, where we have working directories on a shared dev server, and then use a mapped drive to access them, but for large operations (like merging or large additions), we do them locally from the dev server. I.e. log into the shared server, and run 'svn' from the command line. I wouldn't recommend using 'export' on your dev machine. Just leaving a working directory is much nicer, because you get incremental updates and stuff, and it lets you potentially make tweaks to the shared instance of the app (like spelling errors), without having to create or switch a working directory to whatever version is on the shared instance. In all of this, the location of the repository is irrelevant. cheers, barneyb On 8/10/05, Stan Winchester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We have installed Subversion on a development web server.
