I'll polish it up and post ASAP.
Will this avoid the HEAD request too? I assume so. I was playing around with trunk last night after Greg fixed the XML parsing bug I reported. Using that change you committed to avoid fetching pristines, I saw checkout of a branch (for which I already had all of the pristines) dropped from 2:50 to 1:35. The client still sent the server a HEAD and PROPFIND for each file so getting rid of all of those requests would have undoubtedly took a lot of additional time off the command. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
