If so, it'll get too big eventually.
Yep. IIRC, I think we decided to revisit the issue if/when we hit 10MB. It might be interesting if there was a way to have a partial history, so that one could easily make patches/pull/move forward, but of course not roll back to arbitrary points in time. I don't know if that's possible with hg. Another option would be a script that would run that would instantly turn the folder into a working directory (by downloading all the hg info from hg.cython.org). That probably wouldn't be to hard. - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
