Barry and many others obviously find the performance of non-git VCSes acceptable. On the other hand, Brett has conceded that git's performance has enough fans that it has to be on the table (even though he admits to a strong bias against it, that's the major concession). Performance is *always* a consideration. IMO, now that it has been acknowledged that performance varies considerably among VCSes, it's more important at this point to figure out what Python development's *other* requirements are. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
