Use case: as some of my latest messages may have lead to think, I'd like to "mtn cvs_import" the full FreeBSD /src CVSROOT. "du -h" reports 1.8 GiB worth of CVS ",v" files that cvs_import imports in a database around 1 GiB in size (my import created a 500+ MiB one and a 80 MiB journal, as it didn't finish due to a power outage, I'll try again tonite).
Using a gigabyte-sized isn't quite the same thing as "hey, all of monotone itself is only 50 MiB, just download it and be happy with your complete local repository clone", many people would argue that's quite a bit too much to ask on developers..? Two question: 1. how much will be the size of just the main branch? I hope to have an answer after I retry the import; 2. how to work "more conveniently" with it? one possible idea is "partial pull", but of course that leads to various funny issues, like "mtn log" quite possibly ending with sentences like "and probably more". I also wonder how much difficult would be to have an incremental cvs_import (to keep in sync at least in one direction). Just wondering. I'll probably elaborate on it further as soon as I have time to think about it further myself ;-) -- Lapo Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (OpenPGP & X.509) www.lapo.it (Jabber, ICQ, MSN) _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
