I have the same problem and I don't know a solution. AFAICT, it is because svn doesn't maintain any central state on your machine so must search the entire subtree to see if you've changed anything. I haven't found a solution. It is partly why I made the svn tools be driven off the change message, so at least you only have to search the subtree once to compose the change message. After that, the file list is taken from the change message. _______________________________________________ Laszlo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-dev
