I hesitate to drag the version control discussion into places where it notionally doesn't belong, but cheap local branching makes creating a fresh tree quick in absolute terms, not merely when compared to something slow. A performant VCS influences parts of the development process that you might not expect it to affect. _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list Cvs-ghc@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
