As result of this (or maybe as result of some other changes on savannah), the initial "bzr branch" command became approximately twice faster than it was before. It takes about 18 min on a gnu.org machine (probably on the same LAN), and 1 hour on a very remote machine. What's also important, it seems to be no longer true that using the nosmart+bzr:// protocol for the initial "bzr branch" is faster than the normal "smart" bzr://. In fact, nosmart+bzr:// seems to be about 30% _slower_ now. Would people please time the following 2 commands and see if this observation is correct in general? If it is, I'd like to update the instructions on the wiki, because describing 2 different protocols there might unnecessarily confuse new users. bzr branch nosmart+bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/ bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/ Please note that this should be done outside of the directory where you have the Emacs bzr repository, i.e. where you typed the original "bzr init-repo" command (should be the parent of the `trunk' directory if you were following the instructions on the wiki). Otherwise, bzr will not bring stuff from the remote server, but rather reuse what it already has in the repository. TIA
