The output of "svn ls" is fed to "svn info" This is one recursive call: >> svn info -depth infinity This is multiple non-recursive calls: >> svn ls -depth infinity | xargs svn info xargs will batch up the arguments, so we get a number of svn info path1 path2 .... pathN svn info pathN+1 path2 .... pathM svn info pathM+1 path2 .... pathR calls, and they are somehow faster than the single recursive call. -- Philip
