I only know git sorry. If there is any similarity, then some assumptions needs to be provided by you, eg how are the files structured (one directory, or multiple?), what depth of directories?, and how are you doing a single rename? If you are in an overly flat hierarchy, then your problem may well be lower level, at the filesystem layer, and using say ZFS or BTRFS (?) may have better directory-traversing algorithms for dirs with enormous numbers of files. If export-to-git (eg apt-cache show git-bzr bzr-git) and back to bzr is quick enough (probably not) that might be a way. Perhaps figure a quick way in bash (with find or some such) and perhaps bzr can then auto-delete the "old" files and auto-add the "new" (renamed) files (ie, with a single bzr command).. Basically, not enough info to help you properly sorry (and I don't know bzr). Good luck, Zenaan PS: you might try stackoverflow dot com or whatever it's called (google site search may be useful etc). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
