Err, "faster"? The following is the moral equiv of 4 kernel updates which had nothing to do using BitKeeper instead of CVS. The local copy was in San Francisco and the remote copy is Cort's machine in New Mexico over a 384Kbits/sec link. All 4 updates in 5 seconds. Anyone have a CVS tree they can try to get comparable numbers?
At the risk of being slashdot-ed, you can browse these trees with BK's replacement for CVSweb at http://www.bitkeeper.com/bkweb
