git clone of the Linus' repo takes 3 minutes. The hg clone of netbeans took 5 HOURS!
Also checking out all the files or swapping branches in the git repo takes about 45 seconds in GIT, but much longer in hg. The repo size is 3.6GB. But it contains many binaries which we could probably strip off. I really don't like to have a Hibernate jar file in an official ASF repo ;) Still figuring where to upload the git repo to :( LieGrue, strub > On Tuesday, 20 September 2016, 11:52, cowwoc <cow...@bbs.darktech.org> wrote: > > Mark Struberg-2 wrote >> Linux never was on hg, so the comparison doesn't fit. >> >> To be more clear: I'm not concerned that GIT cannot handle the NetBeans >> repo size. > > I actually concerned by this.
