> The first big stumbling block that the system has *exploded* in size.
Here are some handy figures about what's changed. I ran build/treecompare twice, to compare the current tree with how it looked back on 2001-09-05, and then to compare that tree with how it looked all the way back on 2001-02-27. This is pretty useful, I think, and if I can figure out where to put the data, I'll run it regularly from daily build to daily build. Thinking about a web page, or maybe mailing it to this list.
