Well, yes, I guess that would be possible. It would also be possible for bzr-git or even bzr to do this as well -- currently we have real problems with the amount of memory bzr serve processes use... > This would make the memory leaks less of > a problem, and it should make the scheduling of code imports a bit > fairer, since large branches would not keep the system busy for a long > time. It would also need some work so that we don't publish an import until the import actually finishes, I think that would be quite confusing. > The overhead of resuming an existing import should be relatively small. Yeah. Let's talk about this in Wellington if we don't get to it before then :-) Cheers, mwh -- ubuntu-distributed-devel mailing list ubuntu-distributed-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-distributed-devel
