One improvement, if you're looking for a fairly recent change is to bound the blame command with a revision range (I find a date up to HEAD as easiest). You'll miss annotations on lines which were last touched prior to the selected range, but it can definitely speed things up. On a file like News, even if you're generous (say take the last year) it would probably be noticeably faster than letting svn go back to revision 1. -- David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
