I am working with a ClearCase repository housing 6M lines of code and with hundreds of changesets added weekly. I t i s s l o w . It is fine in the weekends when there are at most five people in the office. During weekdays, with a couple hundreds people checking in/out/compiling/grepping/diffing it is a pain. > Perforce > uses an RDB for storage, and has a reputation as being > lightning fast.

I am not convinced, but you know better the insides and the capabilities of the code, and also have a long term vision that I'm lacking at the moment. My concerns right now revolve around the performance issues that slows down the test development. For instance, if the checkin/checkout code would have been faster, I would have set the default to 8-9 ages for the SimpleAgingFile and we would have caught the repository bug 10 days earlier. Also Dave strongly supports the database as the [only] backend. Let's try to get the code in better shape and with a good test suite and we can rethink/refactor later. > By the way, has your Eclipse commit password come through yet? > I haven't heard from them since I sent the vote results off to the > admins. The account has been activated yesterday but I didn't have time to sort my tests out. I am planning to import the latest version of the unit tests tomorrow. florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
