I have eliminated the former. Not the latter; attempting that would be nuts. > Have you tested the speed of the operations when your connection to > Savannah is going through Tor? No. I've never used Tor. Note that I would not expect any slowdown at all, even a tiny one unnoticeable by humans, in git or any other DVCS, because those back ends didn't have a vc-state-heuristic to begin with. Except for bzr, and that code had a note that "this is less important than it once was". -- Eric S. Raymond
