Web page: Source: Source (tar bundle) SHA1: 9c279f78e57a99d517ccf5b983960620ff6f2cf7 Source (tar bundle) size: 1732018 Some highlights: revc has only 10 core commands; there are about 165 functions; the source code is literally about 14K lines and is closer to 10K lines if you subtract out non-code boilerplate. User complaints about tla 1.x being addressed in revc: inventory is too complicated -- but is drastically simplified (almost eliminated) in 2.0 we hate the funny filenames -- 2.0 requires only a single .revc directory and you aren't expected to edit any files there. No more {arch}, {arch}/=tagging-method, or deeply nested project-tree logs the namespace blows -- 2.0 allows just about any revision name that doesn't contain a slash character. There is a moderate limit on the length of a revision name. all this stuff about registering archives and making mirrors is hard to learn -- and, in 2.0, it's all gone. You can use rsync to mirror stuff, for starters. And all archives are anonymous -- there's no longer any such thing as an archive name. too much is too slow -- although the 2.0 code isn't especially optimized yet, it seems to be hella snappy. 2.0 is very much git influenced but it brings some (imo significant) improvements to the table. -t
