Publishing the repository is all very nice but doesn't help someone who wants off-line access. Can it manage renaming files/directories? How does it handle 3-way merging? Does it support merging branches back into the mainline without duplicating the branch content? What advantages does it have over CVS and/or Perforce? How would you like to provide some real results of running GNU Arch against the FreeBSD CVS repository: - time to convert the FreeBSD CVS respository into an Arch repository. - size of the resultant Arch repository. - time to checkout HEAD src - time to checkout RELENG_3 src - amount of metadata associated with the above checkouts - time to tag "src" or "ports" (eg for a release) - time to checkin a 1 or 2 line change in one file - time to checkin a large change (various changes in say 50 files). -- Peter JeremyReceived on Sun Nov 07 2004 - 08:39:15 UTC
