I was about to commit about 1000 files at once after few refactoring stuff. Is it advisable to commit such huge number of files or I should commit them in batches. I am trying to look at pros and cons sort of.
One of the pros is that I will have same entry in the SVN for all my changes and will be easy to navigate.
With a number of files as small as 1000, I would worry less about performance and more about correct work flow. 1000 files is a lot of files and thus a lot of changes, but Subversion should handle it reasonably well.
However, if all of the changes are not actually 1 change, then it should not be one commit. For example, if you’re renaming 3 functions, I would make each rename a separate commit. Depending on what specifically you’re doing, you may be able to get away with one commit, but a year from now when you’re browsing through the logs, you’ll make life easier on yourself if you tend to stick to small commits. If it really is only one change, then one commit is definitely your best option (for example, renaming one function).
