Eep ... :) Another thing I've been thinking about is this: Why are we using SHA1 checksums on the server and on the wire for consistency checks when a 64-bit CRC would do the job just as well, and 15 times cheaper? And banging my head against the wall for not thinking of this 10 years ago. I can sort of understand the use of SHA1 as a content index for client-side pristine files. On the server, however ... dunno. Maybe we could design something akin to what the rsync protocol does, but for repository-wide data storage. Could be quite tricky to achieve locality, however. There I go off on a tangent again. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com
