swh.loader.svn.fast_crawler module

C++ extension module for Python implementing a fast way to crawl a remote subversion repository content (aka listing all paths it contains and their properties) at a given revision. Unlike svn ls --depth infinity command it performs only one SVN request over the network, hence saving time especially with large repositories. Code is freely inspired from the fast-svn-crawler project from Dmitry Pavlenko, see https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastsvncrawler/ and http://vcs.atspace.co.uk/2012/07/15/subversion-remote-api-listing-repository-with-status-request/ for more details

• revnum (int) – revision number to crawl repository at, use HEAD by default if not provided
