I don't know about git, but I believe monotone still stores xdelta-like deltas at least some of the time. (I've no idea whether this is a good or bad thing. Maybe it's good for monotone but not worthwhile in general because of characteristics of sqlite.) I think I'd argue that particular properties of the deltas and the way they were packed (in gzipped tarballs) hurt Arch 1.*, rather than some abstract notion of deltas. However, it seems quite likely that it's too much complexity to be worth bothering with. It sounds like the new archive format can eliminate revision libraries, and I'd guess most people are working nowadays with revision libraries, so that all sounds like a win over Arch 1.*. _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
