Oh. If I understand correctly, then it sounds like the basic storage that everone's using is suboptimal, and really SCMs should store a big database of lines, and files get stored as lists of pointers into that database? (As Stellation did, although Stellation appears to have died. I think they took that idea from a proprietary system, but I don't remember which one.) Or, if not that, then you'd want to store changes to text files in some line-based form, I guess? Otherwise surely you're recomputing diff-like information lots of the time (something cheaper than actual diffs, but I feel sure one could store something more useful than xdelta; indeed, didn't SCCS use something which would have been useful for this)? _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
