Speed and issue with URL and spaces

[Dodgyrabbit]

I've been trying to use SVNPlot over the last few days and ran into
some trouble:

a) Our SVN repository has a space in it and can't generate stats for
it. I tried replacing it with %20 but it still fails with the
following error:

ERROR:root:Found Error Unable to find repository location for 'https://
<ourrepository>%20<somemoreurl>' in revision 1

b) Just to see how it works, I pointed it to a different repository
(hosted by ourselves) and it is extremely slow to calculate stats. It
can literally take minutes to analyse one change. This is not
workable.

Is there some known things I can do to speed up this process?

Thanks.

Please add this bug in the svnplot project bugbase. (http://
code.google.com/p/svnplot). I will have a look at. You will also get a
update when I fix it.

SVNPlot works in two phases. First phase is 'data collection'. This
can be slow as it extracts information revision by revision. If you
have a really large repository this may take hours for the first time.
Subsequently 'data collection' get updates for new changes. So it
won't take that much time.
It data collection phase will be faster if you don't need the
linecount information. In this case, don't give -l flag on the command
line.

I have added a wiki page on suggestions on how to speed the 'initial'
data gathering step.
