* John Goerzen:
Would you please add tags regularly, so that the _darcs/inventory file does not exceed some moderate size? It's currently at 4 MB, which seems to be a tad bit excessive to download, just to check that there are no new patches available.
Yes, I can do that more regularly, but that doesn't actually reduce the size of the inventory file, does it?
Ah, you must run "optimize", too: | Optimize always writes out a fresh copy of the inventory that | minimizes the amount of inventory that need be downloaded when | people pull from the repo. | | Specifically, it breaks up the inventory on the most recent tag. | This speeds up most commands when run remotely, both because a | smaller file needs to be transfered (only the most recent | inventory). It also because it gives a guarantee that all the | patches prior to a given tag are included in that tag, so less | commutation and history traversal is needed. This latter issue can | become very important in large repositories.
