push: avoid rebasing when we know there are no conflicts When pushing multiple commits, push would do one rebase per commit. This changes it track the files that have been changed as part of the push and only perform a rebase if the commit touches a file that has been changed previously. On our repo, push used to take 25 seconds per commit. With this change it takes closer to 10 seconds per commit (if there are no conflicts).

#!/bin/sh
mkdir temp || exit 1
cd temp
svnadmin create repo
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
pushd wc
mkdir -p project/trunk
svn add project
svn ci -m 'trunk'
cd project/trunk
echo a > a
mkdir narf
svn add a narf
svn ci -m 'file and empty dir'
popd
svnadmin dump repo > ../empty_dir_in_trunk_not_repo_root.svndump
echo 'dump in empty_dir_in_trunk_not_repo_root.svndump'
echo 'you can probably delete temp now'
