Thank you for your article. I was almost ready to go and try Git out, almost... but then I watched "Linus Torvalds on git" at youtube.

Boy, what a turn-down. I know I am being irrational, but I found his attitude so glib I am going to give Darcs more time to mature.

the performance issues of darcs are coming from recording two conflicting changes in two repos, then pulling them into one repo and record a resolution.

now, repeat this a few times at the same position and darcs (as of today) gets into an exponential algorithm. there's a soc project to resolve this, we'll see where they are getting to.

it must be noted that this has nothing to do with the size of the repo, i've got a 70 MB sbcl darcs repo here with full history and it has no performance issues.

but yes, darcs' text interface, however well designed, is still a text interface.
