SVN externals slowing up syncing considerably

[Jacek Wielemborek <wielemborekj1 () gmail com>]

Hi guys,

I thought I'd report it to you, since I'm experiencing this issue for
a month now; performing "svn up" on the copy of svn.nmap.org server is
dead slow. Consider this example - the fun part is that nothing
changed here and it still took 52 seconds to sync:

[d33tah-pc][~/workspace/ncat/nmap-svn] $ time LC_ALL=C svn up
Updating '.':

svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions

Is there any solution to this problem? Are the david/weilin-ranges and
colin-packet-fuzz branches still alive? Syncing them takes pretty much
most of the time - each of the externals takes 1-2 seconds to
synchronize.

Yours,
Jacek Wielemborek
