Another appropriate one is darcs, but again it is slower than Linus needs. However I'd suspect that darcs (written in Haskell) could speed up more easily than arch could (mess of shell scripts last I checked).

Very few projects have Linux's combinatin of being a very big project and getting a huge number of small patches applied. Jay

GNU Arch comes closest. -NT - (pwhysall) - (5) - April 7, 2005, 07:10:46 AM EDT

Interestingly enough Linus seems to prefer Monotone - (bluke) - (4) - April 7, 2005, 07:22:49 AM EDT
