Spending all day in terminal is beginning to get frustrating.

We're working with large CakePHP projects, including a ton of schema files and complex controllers. Whenever I go into a project, and enter svn up, or svn ci my system chokes. It takes a good 15-30 seconds before it returns what revision number I'm on.

I'm running OSX 10.6 on a Macbook Pro.

Any reasoning behind this? Anyway I could fix this speed issue?

Use git. – Josh K Feb 9 '11 at 16:04
What if I don't have the option for git? – Paul Feb 9 '11 at 16:34
Buy a faster machine? svn I view as intolerably slow now that I'm used to git. – Josh K Feb 9 '11 at 16:52
@Josh, A faster machine would be lovely. :) Seems like there's no other way to speed up svn. Hopefully we could switch to git in the future. Thanks for your response. – Paul Feb 9 '11 at 17:10

free up your memory- close unwanted programs, or unneccisary proccesses- like dock (yes, you can shut down dock.Finderutill while still running mac osx).

How old is the MBP? Which version of Subversion? Is your subversion repository local or remote?

If it's remote, then the main cause of delay is the network and/or the remote server.

In that case, you might want to upgrade your network equipment or the server that's hosting it.

First gen Aluminum Macbook Pro. About a year old. SVN is remote. Interesting, I'll have to look into that. Our network is quite fast... shouldn't cause too much of a lag. Maybe it's our server. Thanks! – Paul Feb 28 '11 at 15:08
