In short, it probably isn't worth it, unless the new repository formats (which I haven't looked at) tend to bundle more patches together into one file for the compression tool to find redundancy in:
Current: 37188 trunk-get/_darcs Each patch un-gzipped and 7zipped: 32684 trunk-7z/_darcs _darcs replaced by _darcs.tar and then gzipped: 18784 trunk-gz-all-at-once/_darcs.tar.gz _darcs replaced by _darcs.tar and then 7zipped: 10644 trunk-7z-all-at-once/_darcs.tar.7z Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
