I am a researcher who tries to monitor and study the evolution of projects. For this reason I use a client that uses svnkit to connect to remote respositories and download java projects in order to calculate metrics, perform analyses etc.
The problem is that the process of downloading from svn repositories is extremely slow. For example my program is being downloading the LAST revision of a small project with a total of 219 revisions, for the past 3 hours!
Is there a time to speed up this process?
Thank you very much!
