New submission from Simon Marlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On a repository with a lot of patches, asking for darcs changes on a particular file or directory can take a *long* time (30+ seconds of CPU time is common in the GHC repository).
This is preventing us from using the darcs browser in Trac, because it automatically runs darcs changes in this way. Even the darcsweb browser isn't really usable with GHC. If I could wish for only one thing in darcs, faster 'darcs changes <file>' would be it. I imagine that in order to do this you have to store the files changed along with each patch in the inventory, but once you have this a lot of other operations could be sped up too (darcs annotate would be my #2 wish). Also, wouldn't this let you do 'darcs changes <file>' on a partial repository, as long as you don't also say -v? ---------- messages: 456 nosy: droundy, simonmar, tommy priority: wishlist status: unread title: performance of darcs changes <file> ____________________________________ Darcs issue tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue124> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
