2009-08-11 Thread D. Richard Hipp
An interesting data point: Fossil can be about ten times more space efficient than CVS. We are in the process of converting a 10-year-old project from CVS to fossil. The original CVS tree consist of 957 separate files totalling 322,265,419 bytes. The first cut of the fossil repository is
