Subversion 1.4.0 is around the corner...

If you haven’t downloaded and tested the release candidate yet, please read this email, and download it now. A number of folks contributed greatly to the working copy performance, and the FSFS backend. I’ve been using it on a Linux box with a kernel tree working copy, and the improvement is very dramatic. There is a new svnsync tool, and a new –summarize option to svn diff that I think are particularly useful, along with the option to ignore white space changes in both diffs and in the blame output. Download the source and give it a try!
