I've no idea whether that's the case or not. All I know is, every time I need to work with a Mercurial repo it feels a lot slower than doing similar work on a similar size git repo [1], so any improvement (or reduction of penalty) will be noticeable. Every time you type 'hg something', it has to do those imports, so startup time is significant. ChrisA [1] One time I actually did a conversion of CPython from hg into git, just so I could do some analysis and digging. Worked out considerably faster, although that's only because I left the import/conversion process to run by itself while I made a hot chocolate, which meant I was waiting less time. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
