SVN integration - IntelliJ launching thousands of instances of svn.exe to do even simple things
So this is really starting to grind my gears now. IntelliJ seems to like to launch svn.exe a lot. Like multiple times for every single file in the changeset a lot. I'm currently trying to remove ~150 files from a project, and it has taken around 20 minutes just to update and refresh the VCS state. Looking at process activity it's basically repeatedly launching svn.exe - hundreds and hundreds of times. Surely this can't be by design?
Currently on Intellij 2016.3 (although this problem has been around for a while), using the SlikSVN 1.9.4 binaries (and I've tried both 32- bit and 64- bit and it makes no difference).
I can provide some traces of SVN activity if needed, although the log files will likely be huge...

With integration through command line client, each command IDE runs will spawn an svn process. However, theses processes should finish almost instantly.
Probably to many commands are issued, or something else is wrong. I submitted a support ticket for you to troubleshoot this in details.
