Please forgive me if the answer is obvious : is Darcs storage "backend agnostic", or must it really store things in local filesystem ? AFAIK, BitBucket team patched (internally) mercurial to allow storage to amz s3. I don't want to advertise for a particular key-value storage provider, but most of them are quiet reliable and cheap. Designing a hub that would store everything in such a key-value persistent store should not be too hard to get right, reliable and distributed. Hosting it would be cheap also. -- Paul
