Maybe have a configure option to disable svn status and return 'unknown' 
if you disable the svn status part.

It is unfortunate that svn status is so slow, as I think this would be 
useful information to know.

FWIW:

[daney@dl2 gcc]$ time svn status -q
M      libjava/java/util/GregorianCalendar.java
M      libjava/java/util/Calendar.java

real    0m9.361s
user    0m2.023s
sys     0m1.198s
[daney@dl2 gcc]$ time find . -name dave -ls

real    0m0.857s
user    0m0.223s
sys     0m0.536s


If the buffer cache does not contain the needed blocks, it is 
significantly slower.
