RE: [viewvc-users] RSS Feeds Empty

LOL - well that is good to know.  I had thought this to be true, we switched 
from CVS to Subversion recently (again within the last 6 months).  I am not 
sure why, but we've already run into a view situations in which some things 
are simply not possible in SVN.

Thanks again for the great info.

'svndbadmin' is not optimized for speed.  Or accuracy.  Or pretty colors.
Or anything else.  :-)

30 minutes is very believable -- you're essentially playing back the diffs 
of every successive revision in your repository.  (CVS doesn't have this 
problem because it stores diffinfo as a first-class data type in its 
repository format, something Subversion doesn't do.)
