[Python-Dev] Mercurial? (original) (raw)

I think at least 3.x and 2.x should live in separate repos. It is pointless for a clone of py3k to end up pulling all 40000+ changesets from the trunk. It would add 100MB+ to every py3k clone (that is, quadrupling the size of the repository). I don't agree. It's quite annoying for things like annotate/blame, for example, where you may have to switch to another branch while chasing down a defective change.

FWIW, I also think that all branches should go back to the very beginning.

Okay, sounds like that will be easy. Would be good to enable compression on the SSH, though, if that's not already done.

Where is that configured?

Regards, Martin
