The obvious start is 'strace', as in 'strace svn merge ...'. It spits out every system call. There's a lot of noise up front as it's loading shared libraries and such, but it should still be obvious what we're doing when crawling the tree (stat / lstat, open, etc.). -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
