There have been some major performance improvements in the previous few releases and more are in the pipeline for 3.7 (to be released February 1). Because it is so beneficial to run a modern release, hg.mozilla.org will soon print a warning to people who push with a Mercurial client older than 3.5. There are no plans to enforce a modern client at this time. Install instructions are at https://mozilla-version-control-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/hgmozilla/installing.html . _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
