But it works, right?

The performance bottleneck was coming up on a "fossil rebuild" command on
repository with about 200,000 commits where each commit contained about
60,000 files.  With older versions of Fossil, the rebuild was taking about
10 hours.  We are hoping to get it down to the 5-10 minute range.

Clearly the performance aspect is something that you cannot test easily.  AT
this point, I'm just wanting to make sure that all the old edit/commit
infrastructure still works correctly.

Another thing to check:  For your new checkins on this repository, please go
click on the link to the detailed information about that checkin, then click
on the "Manifest" link.  Does the manifest show all 4780 files in your
check-in, or only those that changed?  (I'm hoping it only shows those that
changed.)

Thanks for testing!
