I'm > sorry if you can't see that, but I (and many other developers) can and > have run into the problems it creates. i'm on the "much of a muchness" as to the copy vs. tag/branch thing here - others may like to fine-grain use each and all - but i personally am quite happy with a copy (on write) :) NB - i didn't mean to make this be a "lets argue for the most powerful scms on the planet" and if it does X or not - i know i am definitely not after "more features" - i want to see if we can make anon "cvs" scale better on 1 box before having to move to anoncvs mirror farms. i just "heard" that svn is lighter on a system for anonymous access and i wanted to find out if it is true - and if so - by how much (if it is by 10% - forget it - but if you can server 3 or 5 or 10 times as many users given the same data and resources before you run out... then i see at least one viable alternative to be CONSIDERED) :) so basically - what i am saying is... lets keep this on topic - your original comments were definitely read by me and noted. but now we have eugen going to do some actual "benchmarks" and that is going to "excite" me :) > > Others have corrected what you have been saying. > > Whatever you say. > > We're talking about performance here, and I don't see further > discussion of Subversion's capabilities (or lacks thereof) are > furthering that goal.
