I meant that for a newly developed SCM, the CVS/SCCS format as storage may be more appealing than the current git format. I guess I should have said RCS instead of CVS, sorry if that created any confusion. The arch/darcs approach of pratically storing patches would also be much denser but it has no efficient way of doing "rcs up -p 1.x" on a file, that doesn't involve potentially unpacking tons of unrelated changesets. - 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/
