> darcs --version 1.0.3rc2 (release candidate 2) I've switched over some open source projects to using darcs, and I love it. But darcs has an incredibly steep performance drop-off. I have 1 patch (of 7) to pull from a development branch. Darcs has been running overnight. Even though I added '--verbose' flag, the last time it displayed anything was "diffing dir..." about 8.5 hours ago.
26932 pts/11 R+ 520:14 0 2416 19399 18572 1.7 darcs pull --all --verbose This repo contains gettext derived translation files in a separate darcs repo. The problem with gettext translation files is that gettext includes line numbers of where the translation came from. So when the source code is updated, the gettext files have lots of small changes which just change the line number information. So far after my switch from an unnamed SCM system, I have 7 patches in darcs. Yesterday I generated a new update on my development branch and tried to 'pull' it to my release branch. I let darcs run overnight, but it has not yet finished. I've done such merges in the past in other revision control systems. I normally don't expect it to take more then a few seconds at the most, so this is so far about 4 orders of magnitude slower, and not showing any signs of progress. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel -- improvements in the works that will address this weakness, or am I destined to maintain two separate SCM systems (darcs for code, something else for translation files)? regards, v. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
