Well, there's a chance that the inventories/*.gz files are in some proxy cache. In any case, downloading the whole history on each pull doesn't look like a great idea to me. Maybe zsync could make things go faster? zsync wouldn't require much cooperation from darcs (just an uncompressed inventory and a .zsync file), more efficient schemes would need keeping track of inventory checksums for remote repositories. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
