Nice catch. Lets put this on the website. It's going to get buried
here and no one will see it.

I noticed something odd this morning. Although the default excludes
in ant 1.6.2 correctly ignore .svn directories it doesn't seem to do
so very efficiently. For example, doing:
ant -f make/build.xml clean
ant -f make/build-java.xml copy-resources
The copy-resources step takes over twice as long with ant 1.6.2 than
with ant 1.6.5.
(Note, the exclude still works and no files in .svn directories are
copied or it would been even slower. Much older (some 1.5 versions
and older I think) of ant will copy files in .svn directories but i
doubt anyone will see this.)
The reason was obvious when ran:
strace -o stat.syscalls.log -e stat64 ant -f make/build-java.xml
copy-resources
fgrep -c /.svn/ stat.syscalls.log
With ant 1.6.2 the fgrep counts 22948 stat calls for files within .svn
directories but with ant 1.6.5 it counts zero!
I mention this because it will undoubtedly slow down builds for anyone
using this version of ant *and* because this version of ant is the
default for Debian stable users so quite a few people will probably be
using this version.
I've upgraded (using ant 1.6.5 which is in unstable). It's not really
a big deal but it certainly makes a difference if you are running on
slow hardware (or like me doing some testing under an emulator like
qemu).
Regards,
Mark.
