| Oct 19, 2012 at 20:28 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | It's not just a question of if you have a network connection to the server or not; local IO is much faster and lower latency than network IO which makes examining history or blaming a file much faster (TrotiseSVN blame warning "Please wait - this can take several minutes. Seriously!"). The tradeoff is that having all the history local can require a lot more disk space in larger repositories; this can be problematic on laptops were you can't just add an extra drive to supplement a smaller non-bank-breaking SSD. | |
