TortoiseSVN Speed Up Tips

Collected from the web and the manual pages:

  1. Use FSFS for new repo's, it's faster and works on network shares
  2. Turn off overlays on network drives
  3. Doing a Cleanup of your working copy folders after ftp'ing down into your working copy (same files but different last modified timestamps)
  4. Exclude .svn folders from virus checkers
  5. Disable XP's "zipfolders" shell extension, you're using 7zip anyway right?
    regsvr32 /u %windir%\\system32\\zipfldr.dll
  6. Set your exclusions to omit unless files, archives and any other files that could accidentally get versioned, when they shouldn't.
    *.bak *.zip *.7z Thumbs.db
  7. Check "Don't fetch status for context menu option" on the Look & Feel page
