Well, if it has been decided to use bzr, why are not creating a mirror on savannah. The same way we have git, we could have a CVS mirror setup on savannah. The server used for git/cvs/bzr will be same (from same pool) and we can eliminate network related issues. Once the performance of bzr is found favorable enough, flip the switch to make bzr primary and cvs as a mirror of bzr repo. I am not trying start a discussion on VCS afresh but looking forward to putting an end by having some official dVCS. I would like to ideally use one dVCS for my official work and private hacking. I prefer to use what Emacs uses in the long run and develop some expertise in that area. Regarding posting the performance results, I will post it on a website and just send a link to it once on this list, do not worry about me adding extra bytes to the mailing list :) -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
