title: Subclipse - Repository Exploring Fetching Children Takes Forever
body: <p>I recently got the latest version of Eclipse Indigo for Java Developers - then installed Subclipse using the update site: <a href="http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x" rel="nofollow">http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x</a></p>
  
  <p>Now when I go to SVN Repository Exporing perspective - my repository location having been added - when I expand the repository it says "Pending..." and tasks show it is "Fetching children of xxxx..."</p>
  
  <p>Note that I tried using both JavaHL and SVNKit SVN interface. Sometimes it actually does finally show me the directory (after a few minutes), but other times it just sits there forever (one time I let it sit overnight).</p>
  
  <p>But it never seems to show anything even if it let it sit for a really long time. I know this has worked in the past though.</p>
  
  <p>I even created a different installation which had subversive plugin installed instead of subclipse. In this case it seems to be much faster. However, I find that synchronizing with subversive is painful because it tries to refresh the synchronization any time I do anything. Subclipse seemed to work a lot better with synchronizing, so I would really like to get this to work.</p>
