New submission from James Sadler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Darcs should index and/or cache its metadata so that commands such as 'darcs changes [file]' and 'darcs annotate [file]' are fast. These commands should run near-instantaneously.
I have a large darcs repo (> 500 MB including a few binaries), and running either of the commands means darcs uses 100% of the CPU and takes anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes. It also happens to consume the better part of 2gig of RAM. It should be noted that darcs-server and darcsweb are both essentially built on top of those commands and would therefore benefit from having them sped up. ---------- messages: 1557 nosy: EricKow, beschmi, droundy, jamesdsadler, tommy priority: urgent status: unread title: darcs should index its metadata ____________________________________ Darcs issue tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue426> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
