Why I'm not supposed ? Is this evil ? My export script has all the data available, so I write the tree refs directly. The full export runs ~1 hour. Thats long enough :) I tried the git way and it slows me down by factor "BIG" (I dont remember the number) Also for reference tracking all the information might be available e.g. by a database. Why should the revtool then use some tool to retrieve information which is already there ? tglx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
