To give you an idea what we gain here, I compiled some numbers. GNU Emacs live ebuild (app-editors/emacs-cvs) will be the biggest consumer once they switch from CVS. First we will compare timings $ time bzr checkout --lightweight real 7m37.044s user 1m2.789s sys 0m2.807s $ time bzr checkout real 40m47.371s user 3m57.881s sys 0m8.586s So the normal initial checkout will be more than five times slower than the lightweight one. If this were 1s to 6s it would be neglectable, but we are talking about half an hour difference just for an emerge. Next ist the update function. $ time bzr update real 0m11.457s user 0m0.544s sys 0m0.092s $ time bzr update real 0m2.710s user 0m0.237s sys 0m0.053s Clearly the normal checkout wins by factor five, but we are in the second range, while the space gain is enormous: $ du -sch Emacs-lw/ Emacs 106M Emacs-lw/ 427M Emacs 533M total V-Li -- Christian Faulhammer, Gentoo Lisp project <URL:http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/lisp/>, #gentoo-lisp on FreeNode <URL:http://gentoo.faulhammer.org/>
