I have no clue how broken svn plugin is, but it takes way to much to do svn update on my svn repo. Looks like it uses something else (e.g. svn client implementation made in pure java?!) instead of real svn-client.

My svn repo is 4GB, 76,220 Files, 4,371 Folders. If I simply cd into the top dir and do svn update from command prompt it takes 7 seconds. When jenkins runs the svn update it takes a few minutes (I didn't even try to measure, but every time I take a look the console progress is stuck on "Updating ... step". Please provide a way to make it use normal svn-client instead, otherwise it's just unusable that way. For the same reason I actually had to use simple update option, update and revert was exceptionally broken option that I think was taking like half an hour to complete. I had to write my own batch script that makes the build and I do svn revert -R manually from my own build script instead.
