I've been having a lot of problems lately with Dropbox failing to sync.
To make a long story short, it's Subversion's fault. Dropbox on Linux
fails when you have more than 10,000 directories in your Dropbox
folder. The SVN checkout of Django itself has over 22,000 directories.
Deleting the svn trunk from my Dropbox brought my directory count down
to about 1,300 and fixed all my syncing problems.
For fun, I checked out the official Subversion, Git, and Mercurial
repos this afternoon:
svn:
22,986 directories
git:
2,563 directories
hg:
5,291 directories
I don't know whether this displays an inefficiency of Subversion or
whether converting from Subversion to Git or Mercurial somehow cleans
it up. But in any case I thought it was interesting enough to share,
and might help others on this list who might unknowingly have the same
problem.
