You should always have a current vanilla linus-2.6 BK tree locally, and just pull into it occaisionally. Then when you want to do work just clone it using links: bk clone -l linus-2.6 drm-2.6 and fire away. This is the fastest way. If you're going: bk clone bk://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 drm-2.6 then no wonder it takes all evening :-) When I rebase I just go: cd linus-2.6 bk pull cd .. mv tree treework bk clone -l linus-2.6 tree cd tree bk pull ../treework and that takes less than 10 minutes even on my super slow UltraSPARC machines :-)
