| jelmer | Walex: what do you mean with binary files exactly? | 18:13 |
|---|---|---|
| jelmer | large files? | 18:14 |
| jelmer | Walex: speed often depends a lot on the exact situation in which you're using a tool, I don't think it's necessarily correct to say that Bazaar is fast and Mercurial is slow :) | 18:15 |
| jelmer | Walex: Bazaar also supports HTTP (and technically, SFTP and FTP) as a transport, in addition to native and SSH | 18:15 |
| jelmer | (and git also has 'native') | 18:16 |
| jelmer | Walex: git only tracks basic file metadata (e.g. normalized mode), not other metadata (e.g. file owner/group, ACLs, extended attributes, etc) | 18:17 |
| jelmer | Walex: note that the git format support hasn't been merged into breezy yet, it's currently still in a plugin (brz-git) but may be merged at some point | 18:23 |
| Walex | ahhh sorry to miss this | 22:03 |
| Walex | jelmer: many thanks for the details. | 22:04 |
| Walex | jelmer: as to speed I think that mercurials's "lots of small files" repo is a really bad idea *for system administrators*. Developers tend to have desktops/laptos with SSDs, monstrous amounts of RAM, and only a few repos, so they could not care less. | 22:06 |
