The tags means that each file gets modified for each tag and then we have to transfer the whole tree after a tag. It thrashes the hell out of the disk too, for no good reason. Also note that there are nowhere near as many tags as there are commits in the CVS tree. So by using tags you are restricting yourself to coarse granularity in your bug hunts. > But if you're sure the tags aren't coming back we can start adding the > automation to cvsps. Please do, we're not adding the tags. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
