Well, since I do not have an imperial machine equipped lot of gigs on the harddrive, I took the SVK suggestion very seriously.

At the moment, my attempts to commit patches (based on SVK) have met failures and generated lot of frustration.

I have a patchlet to cp/error.c I wanted to commit; so I followed the instructions on the Wiki. My local tree is uptodate with respect to upstream; I launched "svk push --lump". After 5 minutes waiting, I pressed ^C. Then I tried "svk commit"; it prompted me with my favorite editor, I entered the commit-log, saved it and exited the editor. At that time, I was greated with:

Merging back to mirror source svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i586-linux-thread-multi/SVN/Core.pm line 576. Authorization failed: at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/SVK/Command.pm line 152

"svk commirt --file 22239.log" yields same greatings back.

So:

(1) What is supposed to be the blessed tribal incantation to commit a patch to upstream GCC when working with SVK?

(2) Is it normal that "svk push" takes more than 5 minutes to complete? If so, that does not match the speed argument I've seen for the move to SVN.

Thanks,
