I'm not sure what you mean either. I don't care what SVN does now, only what it did when companies abandoned it en-masse around SVN v1.6, since that's the context of my comments.
- layer8 5y agoWhat I described is what SVN always did. Cheap copies due to COW was always a selling point for SVN. My point is whatever was slow for you wasn't due to COW.
- adrianmsmith 5y agoSVN branches were always cheap copies, right from the original version of SVN. "svn cp http://.../trunk http://.../trunk http://.../branches/foo http://.../branches/foo" may not be the most concise command to type, but all it does is create a new item "foo" in a new revision, which references a previous item "trunk" in a previous revision. How many files/directories are under that doesn't affect how long the operation takes.
