It would take days. > I'm going to import the CVS data (with cvsps) - as the CVS "misses" half > the changes, the resulting archive should be half in size too? No. The CVS archive is going to be almost the same size. BKCVS gets about 98% of all the data. It just doesn't show the complex merge graphs, but those are "small" in comparison. > I don't know how much space did bk use, but 3 GB for the full history > is reasonable for most people, isn't it? Especially that one can purge > older data. I think it's entirely reasonable, yes. But I may be off by an order of magnitude. I based the 3GB on estimating form the sparse tree, but I wasn't being too careful. Andrew estimated 2GB per year (at our current historical rate of changes) based on my merge with him. So it's in that general range of 3-6GB, I htink.
