Not really. To give a point of comparison, when I clone (using Mercurial) the Python trunk at http://code.python.org/hg/trunk, it takes 2 minutes 50 seconds. That's for the whole trunk history from 1990 to today, and bandwidth is around 500 KB/s (sustained) during the downloading. So, having svnmerge take one minute or more from a machine hosted at the same place as code.python.org points to a really slow merge implementation IMO. > I have no idea how much data gets transferred, but it doesn't > "feel" slow.

I've never used svnsync, but I have already tried svk and it was a PITA (that's what led me to try Mercurial, and then write hgsvn). _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
