Hmm :-( Anybody else have better luck with this? > Does darcs-benchmark use my global cache? Perhaps I should mv ~/.darcs > ~/.darcs.restoreme and see if it makes any difference. I think that would be good to try. I think it'd be worthwhile to have darcs-benchmark systematically create a fresh cache directory for each kind of repo it uses. Benchmarking old fashioned repos -------------------------------- Also: I've thought about the problem of benchmarking old-fashioned vs. hashed repositories. One simple option would to be to just ship old-fashioned tarballs identical to their hashed counterparts and run darcs-benchmark on those. We won't get side-by-side tables showing the difference between the two but we can just copy and paste columns from the relevant hashed and old-fashioned tables to get the desired effect. If this makes sense, Petr, do you think you could distribute such tarballs for use with darcs-benchmark --get? Thanks! -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
