[darcs-users] hashed repository issue

[Dan Pascu]

I tried today to experiment a bit with a darcs-2 hashed repository format. 
I added an empty file then made 4 changes and recorded them. I was 
surprised to find that the hashed pristine directory did contain 11 
files. Every recorded change to a single file added 2 more. I was under 
the impression that the hashed pristine would only contain one file for 
each corresponding file in the working tree plus some index file. As it 
looks right now, with files added there with every change, it is asking 
for trouble with large projects (remember the 32k limit for files in a 
directory with ext3). That means that even projects with less files, but 
many changes, can hit that limit.
