Junio, thanks for pinging me about it, I haven't been following the ML
very closely and forgot about this issue.

Yep :)

Steven:

How does the following work for you?  Which version of SVN do you have,
by the way?  I just found a bug with the way SVN::Client::diff() is
exported for SVN 1.1.4, hence the SVN::Pool->new_default_sub usage.

Subject: [PATCH] Don't checkout the full tree if avoidable

In most cases of branching, the tree is copied unmodified from the trunk
to the branch.  When that is done, we can simply start with the parent's
index and apply the changes on the branch as usual.

[ew: rewritten from Steven's original to use SVN::Client instead
     of the command-line svn client.

     Since SVN::Client connects separately, we'll share our
     authentication providers array between our usages of
     SVN::Client and SVN::Ra, too.  Bypassing the high-level
     SVN::Client library can avoid this, but the code will be
     much more complex.  Regardless, any implementation of this
     seems to require restarting a connection to the remote
     server.

     Also of note is that SVN 1.4 and later allows a more
     efficient diff_summary to be done instead of a full diff,
     but since this code is only to support SVN < 1.4.4, we'll
     ignore it for now.]
