Hmmm, I thought that several other systems had similar (or worse) overhead -- most notably that bk and darcs have no real notion of a "repository", but always store the entire history in every source tree. Such a model seems to simplify the user interface in some cases, but obviously can impact disk usage... However I have no real experience with either bk or darcs; please correct me if I'm wrong about this. [This is as opposed to arch, which has a repository (local/remote) model, and allows even repositories to contain only deltas from some other repository.] -Miles -- Yo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down. - 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/
