Yes, I know. That's because the "update" command goes through all URLs to see
changes,
and then fetches them one by one ... which is bad for high-latency links.
Checkout just does a single call, and the rest is streaming data.

Apply the patch I sent you and be finished with "checkout" in 20 minutes :-)
