[darcs-users] Slow Push and Pull with Remote Repository

[Thomas David Baker]

I tried

darcs optimize --reorder-patches

on the remote repository.

It's been running for about 2 hours now.  Is that normal?

On the local repo:

$ wc -l _darcs/inventory
4

But on the remote repo:

$ wc -l _darcs/inventory
1836

This is on two repositories that are theoretically identical (one is a
new "get" of the other, with a one line change recorded on the new
repo).

I guess I am showing my ignorance of how darcs works.  Is there any
way to make the inventory on the remote repo smaller?  I suppose
optimize --reorder-patches is the right thing to be trying?  But
should it take so long?

Thanks for all your suggestions everyone.  Any further advice you have
for me will be gratefully received.

Thanks again,

T
