V3 shelves slower than expected

[Tluigi003]

I'm aware it's an experimental function, that's the reason I'm reporting this!

Comparing to V1 and V2, V3 is slow on big projects.

In my use case I've cloned an entire web project, including back, front, SQL scripts... etc. However, as a front developer I only edit front files, furthermore sometimes I have just edited a few items.

The process of shelving will take some (from 2 to 5?) minutes until completion. It's not a big deal, but I'm just curious about the reason behind the change from V2 to V3

Regards.

I can confirm this behavior. Shelving some tiny files with 1.12 showed a dialog where it slowly transferred ~50MB before it completed, whereas with 1.10 it was basically instant. This makes the whole shelving feature rather unpleasant to use.

I'm the author of the shelving. Yes, that's the flip side of changing the implementation for v3 to be functionally more complete, is it's much slower. If someone is willing to invest some more effort into it, improvements are possible.

Could you provide a link to the dev discussion of the change to V2 to V3?

Just to know which funcionallity was improved

I'm curious as well. I've previously used this feature a lot and no longer can as our project is large. Not sure if a less-than-functionally-complete version could be allowed as well. Shelve/Checkpoint/Snapshot?

Thanks for the prod for information. I have provided details at

I got the same issue here, we got a 10-year old repo, currently around rev. 90000 and when I try to shelve it takes ages and seems to download the whole online repo. I got high CPU, disk IO and network load.

Will this download be a one-time operation? Also I dont know if giving up offline shelving is a good thing to do. After all, Git can make superfast stashes, and you will be compared against that feature.

Network load?.

As far as I now it's a local  transference between workspace and .svn/experimental/shelves folder of the entire project.

I got the usual "checkout box" where I could see that it was transferring 4GB of data off our server, so I assume its downloading the whole repo each time you shelve smth. That makes it really unusable.

I just experience the same thing, except I didn't wait because it's transferred way more MB than the files' size so I know something is wrong.
