Diagnosing Slow Subversion Checkouts: Is Packing or Access Layer the Culprit?
Goal Determine whether checkout latency in a Subversion FSFS repository is dominated by the repository layout (FSFS packing/sharding) or by the access layer (svnserve vs. mod_dav_svn). Constraints Measurements must isolate server‑side, network, and client‑side costs. The repository uses the FSFS backend; the exact FSFS format version and shard size are unkno
