SVNRepository.getStatus() vs. SVNRepository.getDir()

Here we will show how you can fetch properties from the repository recursively in a single request using SVNRepository. Many newbie users who come across the SVNRepository interface for the first time, decide to implement the task of recursive retrieving properties from a repository tree with the help of SVNRepository's getDir() method. To get properties recursively you'll have to call getDir() in recursion. It's not a wrong way, but consider the repository tree with multiple leaves (with hundreds or maybe thousands of them). For each directory leave getDir() sends a new request what leads to extremely slow performance.

Basically, what you do with getDir() is the following: 

   1     public void fetchPropsFromRepository(SVNRepository repos, String path, long revision, 
   2                                          Map pathsToProps) throws SVNException {
   3         SVNProperties props = new SVNProperties();
   4         Collection children = repos.getDir(path, revision, props, SVNDirEntry.DIRENT_ALL, null);
   5         pathsToProps.put(path, props);
   6         for (Iterator childrenIter = children.iterator(); childrenIter.hasNext();) {
   7             SVNDirEntry childEntry = (SVNDirEntry) childrenIter.next();
   8             if (childEntry.getKind() == SVNNodeKind.DIR) {
   9                 String childName = childEntry.getName();
  10                 String childPath = !"".equals(path) && !path.endsWith("/") ? 
  11                                    path + "/" + childName : path + childName;
  12                 fetchPropsFromRepository(repos, childPath, revision, pathsToProps);
  13             }
  14         }    
  15     }
