Umm, I think you've got things a bit reversed here. The core problem with using both SVN and Git over HTTP, is the number of round trips required. Git provides the best example, if the server side isn't already packed, each object needs to get fetched individually. Whereas the git:// protocol effectively sends 'I have rev XYZ, give me everything up to HEAD.' One message in each direction, with a slight wait in the middle while the server prepares the response.

I benched it up with 30 concurrent updates myself, but I want to save room for now. > Even if tree signing will be available, the developers should work in > secured channel... ssh or https...

The git:// and svn:// are for the anonymous side - I did state that clearly in my original post. Git commits are using git+ssh:// (via gitosis), and while I'd like to do the same for SVN, it will probably remain SVN-over-https:// for now. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
