Hello glasgow-haskell-users,
i'm tried to download newer snapshot of 6.6 and found that now it's
74 mb! why it is so large and why it's so enlarged after 6.6 release?
isn't it possible to reduce size of this package?
Does this include darcs version info? I've noticed that darcs generates suspiciously large quantities of "context" info for very small patches (e.g. ~7000 lines of "context" for a ~700 line patch) -- for what I've seen so far, the "context" section might be growing linearly with the file's history.
For what it's worth, I've got a "partial" tree that is ~64M in size, of which version info is about 60%, and current source is about 40%.
Cheers,
Dinko
