[darcs-devel] the straw that broke the camel's back

[Ben Coburn]

Obviously each project has it's own circumstances, so many projects  
will use different languages, revision control systems, editors,  
etc., etc., etc.. If Mercurial works for you, that's great.

For comparison, I've been contributing to the DokuWiki project  
( http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki ) for a while and have  
heard very few complaints about darcs from developers over there.  
With ~1800 patches, DokuWiki is nearly twice as "big" as the darcs  
repository previously cited.

I might also note that I ran 'darcs get -v http://allmydata.org/ 
source/tahoe/trunk'. It was quite verbose, and finished in ~1 minute  
on ordinary hardware with an ordinary DSL connection. Interactive  
commands might be slower... but http based gets and pulls seem fast  
enough to me.
