Mercurial stores regular snapshots, to make sure you never have to apply too many deltas to get a snapshot. That's not so different from what Git does with its packed format (the difference is that Git's delta are not necessarily against the direct ancestor of the file). AFAICT, both are snapshot-oriented, but both use a compression algorithm based on delta. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
