On my gcc tree, a plain "svn status" takes a full minute (at the top level). I think that is much too long a time for Emacs to be unresponsive. So, I would prefer async operation for the dir-status by default -- right now I simply can't use vc-dired for my work, and I would like to be able to use something. I do agree that a particular back end could choose to work synchronously. Tom
