I tried some time ago to import the BKCVS revisions since Linux 2.6.9 into a monotone-0.16 repository. I later tried to upgrade the database (repository) to monotone version 0.17. The result - converting ~3500 revisions would have taken more than *one year*, fact confirmed by the monotone developers. The bottleneck seemed to be the big size of the manifest (which stores the file names and the corresponding SHA1 values) and all the validation performed when converting. The solution, unsafe, is to disable the revision checks in monotone but you can end up with an inconsistent repository (haven't tried this). -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
