Hi all out there!
Having to do several global changes on our production website I
was not yet bold enough to do them on a branch. So I did them in
one of the working copies.
However, committing about 4500 pages (80 MB in total) brought
my machine to its knees (Win2K, P200, 144 MB, CPU usage 4-
10%, RAM usage c. 90MB). It would not start committing even
after several hours and I had to stop and part the thing into slices of
less than 1000 pages each. (I would have preferred to have the
set of global changes in one revision though, not in five.)
Now my question:
Would merging a branch back into trunk generally have been both
faster and working with all 4.500 files at once, irrespective of the
machine?
I think that it might be so because of the cheap copy character of
the branch. OTOH the changes must be calculated at some point
anyway and I assume that it is that calculation that was too much
here. So a branch may as well not have made any difference ...
Thanks for any shared experience.
Jan Hendrik
