Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Re: designing how to kill pristine trees

[Karel Gardas]

Hi,

few and short thoughts as Tom requested.

1) keep pristine trees feature as it is today - benefit the users are not
forced to create revlibs, automatic space management, pristine trees are
nicely reused in case of working in the same parent directory, etc, etc.

Add some space-saving tunning:

2) if the user has revlib(s) which contains required source tree and if
certain param (in arch-params) is set, then get will not create pristine
tree, and all other commands will work directly with revlib's version.
I think someone who will try to implement this feature might start with
easier approach with hard-linking pristine-trees from revlibs because of
less needed man-hours and the effect with hard-links will be also
visible...

Cheers,

Karel
