As I recall, Stefan recently declared the performance branch "done". It's encouraging to see a few intrepid users and devs looking at the branch and providing feedback.
Through IRC and other conversations, I've gotten the feeling that some of the changes made on the branch might be a bit too wide-spread to warrant whole-sale inclusion in 1.7, but several people have expressed interested in cherry picking at least some bits back to trunk. I've not yet done a comprehensive review of the changes on the branch, and would appreciate any suggestions folks may have of low-hanging, independent useful bits. For starters, I would consider: * the new svn_io_file_read_full2() API * the new svn_io_file_putc() API * the new svn_stringbuf_appendbyte() API Note that I don't include the caching work, since I think it might be much more far-reaching, and probably needs more review before going into trunk. The branch should also probably have a catch-up merge to prevent it from diverging too far. I'm happy to do so, as well as fix up any style nits which may exist on the branch. I'll do some digging to determine the various revision ranges to make the above suggestions merge to trunk, and post back. -Hyrum
