[GRASS-dev] svn seems to complete commit to repository, but hang locally

[Michael Barton]

I've never had the SVN hang for me while doing a commit, checkout, or  
update on my Mac in the short time it has been up.

However, it recently took all day to do an SVN checkout from our lab  
FC6 box. We tried it several times and finally just went off and left  
it.
