If the user clicks the Version Control tab before the CVS information was retrieved the thread just hangs until the CVS repository is parsed. If the repository takes a long time to parse or retrieve teh log the UI thread is locked up. Many users just hit refresh and lock up another thread.

This is a huge problems when the CVS server stops responding as the thread takes a long time to time out.

In JIRA 3.4 this is not too bad as there is a timeout on CVS checkout thread. However, the timeout is quite long (10 minutes) so problems still arise.

Now we only let the VcsService parse the cvs log file instead of trying to do it triggered via the UI. If it has not been parsed then we show a message that alerts the user so and suggests that if they have admin permissions they can speed it up in the admin section. This is the same behavior as the Subversion plugin.
