I've noticed this at work as well- I do think an ssh-based checkout would go faster than an HTTP one?
Is this a question? I'm pretty sure that, in addition to speed ups because of more revisions, using ssh-based checkouts or svn:// based checkout would also make things faster.
The major flaw that I can find with this layout is that bulk editing becomes more difficult. Because we don't a) abuse CVS tags and b) check out the whole repository, mass changes are difficult to apply to packages. This could hurt when it comes to huge rebuilds.
I still think that we can extend tools around archrelease and archco to make changes on a mass scale. They wouldn't be used as often, but would be available when we needed them. Jason
