I do not need the whole branch - only a small subset of files related to distutils. I know that bazaar can't do partial checkouts - it can only fetch the whole branch. What about mercurial? And why not to setup HTTPS for anonymous read and authorized write access? It is not that hard to do and will solve many problems with proxies. -- --anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
