Re: bzr VCS feedback

Tsantilas,

Thank you very much for the pointer. I was able to 'branch' squid3-bzr.

About bzr, here are two things that I've noticed:

* debian etch (stable) has an old version of bzr (0.11-1.1), which
does not recognize squid-bzr
  repository:
$ bzr branch http://www.squid-cache.org/bzr/squid3/trunk
bzr: ERROR: Unknown branch format: 'Bazaar Branch Format 6 (bzr 0.15)\n'

debian (and most linux/BSD distros I guess) come with a usable CVS version.

* bzr 1.0 seems to use a lot of memory for checkout at least:
$ ps axuw | grep bzr
garana 25130 8.9 15.7 87256 80276 pts/16 S+ 10:46 1:06
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/bzr branch
http://www.squid-cache.org/bzr/squid3/trunk
/home/garana/src/squid--bzr/trunk
$ ps axuw | grep cvs
garana 28048 16.4 0.3 4228 1860 pts/18 S+ 16:11 0:02 cvs co squid

CVS used only 4K, while bzr used more than 80M (it devastated my workstation).

$ ps axuw | grep bzr
garana 27912 7.1 2.9 17872 15096 pts/16 S+ 16:03 0:02
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/bzr bind
http://www.squid-cache.org/bzr/squid3/trunk

Since I am not a core squid developer, I know that I don't have a vote
on this, but
I have to say that I am quite disappointed with bzr resource usage.

Regards,
