Well, err, I guess I'm pretty stupid, but how about this? If the lxr guy is listening to all this, he could download a copy of BK, clone the FSMlabs tree, then I'll do a null pull from him, and we'll have an apples to apples comparison, now won't we?
I think it's a pointless thing to do, I already know that CVS transfers way more data to do the same operation so it's a foregone conclusion it will be slower. But I'm very happy to do it if the lxr guy (sorry, I've forgotten your name, I apologize) is willing. Send me private mail, it shouldn't take very long at all to get you set up. -- --- Larry McVoy lm@bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
