Repository access really too slow
Also discussing with other people, the issue that access to the
Repository is too slow really has to be looked at.
The very slow access really makes it too difficult to use: people use
tricks with copying the SVN link in the browser and browsing that way
(which indeed is much faster), etc.
The repository browsing is very important as it should be a quick way to
get detailed information. Only when people like the stuff they saw they
may download with SVN the whole tree to their local disks.
